Corona: selectie volgens leeftijd?

The Flemish press has reported about the instructions of university hospitals, by the society of geriatic physicians, and from several ethicists, which corona patients should have priority in case intensive care beds are short (March 24th). Criteria differ: not the oldest, not the sickest, first come...Fortunately, hospitals have mobilized reserve beds, apparatus and rooms; general practitioners have put up tents to separate corona cases from other clients; transfers are organized from overcrowded hospitals, etc. Wouldn't it be a shame if a single patient died due to lack of treatment, in this rich society? The European Central Bank has decided to offer 1110 billiion euros to support the economy. www.tijd.be/dossiers/coronavirus/zwakste-rusthuisbewoners-met-corona-gaan-niet-naar-ziekenhuis/10216345.html www.demorgen.be/nieuws/advies-uz-gent-meest-verzwakte-patienten-niet-op-intensieve-zorg~b27afeff/ www.standaard.be/cnt/dmf20200324_04900687 www.nieuwsblad.be/cnt/dmf20200324_04900191
