I think this is more of a case of you wanting some Forum kudos but not having anything worthy of posting so you just spam with total shite and hope it will be received well. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree with you on your second sentence. You've lost me on your first point – at the start of the pandemic there was a moral debate about designating ventilators/ICU beds to those "more deserving" of it if we were faced with a shortage, i.e. younger people with longer lives ahead of them first etc. but as things stand there isn't currently a shortage of ICU beds in the country. If he needed one he'd be given it surely? I wasn't aware of the NHS operating any kind of age-related policy, official or otherwise, as to whether they bother giving you an ICU bed if needed?

When you 100 ventilation is rarely appropriate and therefore people ill at that age Doctors don't always recommend ICU. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You don't have to be in ICU to be on either a ventilator or an oxygen supply though? Anyway, I've changed my mind. Just conversed with my GP flatmate. He said that there was no way the family would be allowed in unless the hospital were reasonably confident that he wasn't going to make it. He's a goner.
