We already triage donor organs based on who is most likely to live a healthy life and make the most use of them. The ethics of that are debatable, but I don't see much of a difference between ICU beds and organs when we're dealing with a limited supply.
Of course, the lack of beds could have been prevented while the lack of donor organs is a trickier problem. The people responsible for stripping our hospitals of any excess capacity get the wall.
Yeah exactly. We don't give liver transplants to active alcoholics, same thing goes for oxygen to antivaxxers when you're down to triaging.
But also yes, and while I know it will never happen because we live in hell, we need some sort of tribunal to punish the people responsible for this disaster. Personally I'm of the opinion that every US governor and most of the house and senate are guilty of mass murder and deserve either life in prison or execution for their crimes against humanity. And I think such a tribunal should also look further back, and figure out who was responsible for making us so poorly prepared for this in the first place.
