Government given guidelines to DR’s who to ‘save’ if it pressure becomes too much on NHS- please take heed and stay indoors if possible....

This is a hard read. I gasped twice upon reading it but I feel it’s important to share. It won’t come to this if we all stay indoors unless we really can’t. Don’t go to the parks, to the shops (unless it’s to buy food)
I’m worried these poor doctors are going to have to start making these devastating decision hourly.....
So so sad, but please take heed

Not fully clear but I gasped at the bit it would be based on who is likely to make the best survival and it could mean they would have to remove ventilation for some. It’s a hard read. Hope we don’t get that far on

The professor revealed the region’s intensive care patients had “skyrocketed” from just one on 22 February to 1,800 now.
That is terrifying.

I think I read somewhere in overwhelmed countries (I think Spain) that the decision of who to save over someone else was being done on lung function, above all else.. I’m not medical though, so not sure if that’s tosh or not.
