[QUOTE="Winnie53, post: 2237677, member: 160246"] Here's a quote from Jason Warner's article... [INDENT][I]After interviewing 5 nurses in Seattle yesterday, I need to paint this picture that they shared with me. I spoke with them personally and will share a more detailed account ASAP: After a few days of admitting the Tsunami of COVID patients, the hospitals can no longer treat everyone so they are forced to make impossibly difficult decisions. The first mitigation protocol shared by nurses to whom I spoke (off the record, all five were not supposed to be talking to me) is as the COVID volume spikes, they are forced to only provide palliative care to those 65 and older. This is because they don’t have enough people, beds, time, or other medical resources so they have to make hard choices based on who is most likely to recover. This is battlefield medical response protocol.[/I][/INDENT] [/QUOTE]
