https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_OECD_countries_by_hosp... The board of medical doctors has issued a therapeutic guideline that says not to ventilate over the age of 60, or better "to allocate ICU resources and personnel based on estimates life expectancy", as is an accepted ethical behaviour in cases of insufficient resources. People 60 and older are sedated and practically euthanised if not enough ICU beds are available. That's why you probably see other countries (namely UK and US) react differently. Unfortunately it's difficult to asses the validity of the statistical reporting, even assuming good faith on the side of all parties, statistics protocols are easy to overlook/get-wrong in medical emergencies. Use translated CC to hear it from this guy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5lnxGwptaQc
We have entertainers put out PSA messages to educate the population to leave enough beds free to accept critical patients |
