Those who breach instead of a Fine get their name put on file and are refused hospital treatment if they have covid

[Jessica60]

As the title says. If someone has breach the covid restrictions that bad that they receive a notice and fine from police then why don't we have a system in which their name is recorded on some sort of database NHS etc and they are refused treatment for covid. This would free up the beds and care for those that did follow lockdown rules.
I am talking about the people constantly having house parties, going to work when they know they are positive etc.
This would probably be more of a deterrent than a fine.

As much as people having parties piss me off, you must know this is a ridiculous slippery slope.

There's this little concept called ethics. Maybe if people had to pay for health care then they'd be more careful but looking at the US I'm not sure that theirs holds any weight. People are stupid and there's no cure for that.

Don't be so bloody ridiculous. Even prisoners found guilty of the worst crimes are allowed access to medical treatment.

No, I don’t want to live in a country that refuses certain people medical treatment. If you start with this then where does it end?

Just when you think you have read it all. Where to start...

This has been covered many many times on here. It’s not an original suggestion.

There was a thread like this before. Whilst I understand the argument and do also feel ‘why the hell should they get help when they put themselves at risk’ it’s not really practical. Where does it stop? Will anyone who is overweight be banned from nhs treatment? Smokers? Drug users? People who eat meat?!! Those who drive 1mph over the limit?

Er, no.

I'm really miffed with people ignoring the rules but tbh I'd probably rather covid ran wild than live in your imagined facist/cruel state.

🙄

I have another idea- if you're drunk and fall over and hit your head and you need stitches, you can't as you fell over whilst drunk.... get type 2 diabetes because you love to eat, sorry, no more insulin for you. Idiot.

This would be totally unethical. On the same grounds would you also refuse treatment to people who smoke, drink alcohol, are overweight, practise high-risk sports, etc.?

I agree with it. smokers/eating meat etc isn't against the law so clearly very different.

Absolutely not.
What next, refusing smokers lung cancer treatment? Refusing alcoholics liver transplants?

Seriously give your head a wobble op. Not to mention the fact that people may have legitimate reasons for breaking the rules.

Let's hope you don't struggle for breath being strangled by your judgy pants. Wowzers.

Oh shut up. What about children? or will there be a cut off. 17 year old rule breakers get treated? But not 18 yr olds. Do miscreats die at home? or in the streets? Silly goady post and shameful

This is staggeringly cruel.

What next? No cancer treatment for people who smoke or drink? No surgery for the teenage lad who got cocky and lost control of his car? No HIV treatment for promiscuous people?

Shame on you.

Self inflicted-no help would be given!

Ok then - no treatment for illegal drug overdoses? Or completely who crashes their car while speeding?

*someone, not completely

Sure, as long as we include fat people too.

Doctors treat everyone.

Even serial killers.

Threads like this never fail to surprise me.
No thanks op. I think perhaps you haven’t thought this out very thoroughly.

I think some people would be better suited to living in North Korea will their wants.

With ideas like that you should be advising government. Vacancy now Cummings gone. S very good idea. I would never have thought of that in 100 years.

Ridiculous notion aside, I like the way it will just be a case of setting up 'some kind of database as if they're just going to give Doris in admin a call and ask her to knock up an excel spreadsheet to keep track of the names 🙄
