Well this sounds like scare mongering to me....

Harsh world, but yes if you had two people you could save, one Down, one normal.... Of course you choose to save the functional one.

that is just murder

Not acceptable - never acceptable. Treat according to need - and that’s it!

Good save the space for the normals.

What a load of Cr*p. Believe that and you’ll believe anything 🙄

Fascist eugenics policies now in play, they will be ignored by BBCnews & itvnews of course!

How can you print this bullshit ? Have you no shame? Disgusting scaremongering

Ridiculous ..

This is insane.. it should not be heard at all. Is he not a human being?.

Does anyone read these articles before unleashing their fury on Twitter? 1. In the US, not the Uk 2. In State of Alabama only, one of the least progressive parts of the US 3. A poor interpretation of guidelines and a stretch at best 4. Shameful political posturing by Mirror

What a load of shit.

See the word. ' could ' and realise they are bullshitting!

No way that’s true

You should be ashamed, why would you post that!? Disgusting

If this is true its totally disgusting and cruel and this country should be ashamed of its self.

dontbuythemirror

If true then it’s beyond insane.. max I had as regular passenger with downs deserves better protection more than most what we call same fit and what we call normal ppl.. What a disgrace..

So the ones who escaped the abortionists you mean? You’re sick and evil

Where do you get these scoops from talk about scaremongering

Media... aweful media

More bull from Jeremy Corbyn favourite paper 🤣🤣

You forgot to put in the US.

This is totally unacceptable. What the hell is wrong with Britain?

That clear hate crime

Why would this even be true?

What absolute bollocks.

Nope, not right at all!!

How can that be right .

Shocking!

Who writes this stuff, Stephen King?

Is this just scaremongering by this paper? If so it’s extremely bad taste and you should be held accountable for it !

I had a cry over this and it isn’t even true

Shortages of personal protective equipment (PPE) appear to be widespread across the health service and include GP practices as well as hospitals. Doctors are angry about Public Health England’s new advice issued last week which reduces the level of the PPE that staff need to wear

More fake news from the mirror I hope

Never! What comes after that the disabled then criminals then the older ones what age do we class as older 40, 50, 60. Which, murders, burglars. Where does it end and who is going to play god

This tweet is designed so you click the link and contribute to their advertising income, just don't click the link

Huh?😩

No bloody way ........

If there's a shortage of ventilators doctors will have no choice 2prioritise who have most chance of surviving,people with downs will NOT b left 2die 2save supplies at all,& this is NOT UK policy so shame on u dailymirror reporting it like that is scaremongering & SHAMEFUL.

May God forgive. !!!!!!!!

Jeeez That would be the most disgusting thing ever done in humanity.

Katie383980 Wtf!

My son we have SOTOS syndrome do not tell me he’s life is not worth to be saved !!!! Ffs

I know for fact these ppl are bugging to leave this guy to die because of supplies?!? Someone needs to rescue him his human. Not a freak!

I don’t believe that for one minute. Their parents won’t let that happen

Hell no - they are smarter than most idiots without it!!

God forbid!

No child should suffer Irregardless of condition 😡😡😡

Rudy48053087 Bollocks.

This is disgusting, it cannot possibly be true

Only this bitter rag would report something like this just putting more fear into people that's why only the paristies of society buy this rag It's not fit to burn

Are you serious

Katie383980 This is disgusting were All equals in this life, no one more worthy than the other.. What a selfish world we live in...

No it won’t. As someone has said, ‘not while I am here!’

That’s disgusting

😭

...mejor con los mentes de criminal que se les ocurre estas cosas...

I didn't just read what I thought I did. I refuse to believe I did.

Is this where we are?

Every life is worth saving! Stop this stupidness, fake news!

What!!

Says who ? You fuck Wit

This is what Hitler would have done!!.....don't you even think about it!..😡👎

Not reading it ... it will make me so angry !!

Right now in Madrid Drs are having to let over 65s die so younger people can have the ventilators

They are having to make these decisions in Italy and Spain as there aren't enough ventilators, meanwhile our Govt turned down offers from Euro and companies here to make more

WHAAAT?!?!?

Please tell me this fake news 😲😭💔😡

What?!? That’s terrible!

DBCooper worked Boeing

If this is true it is heartbreaking but to the parents of downs children in America totally unbelievably cruel

Tories first

Who writes this shit!!!!

Load of bollocks

Shazzyrm Wtaff

Not while I’m still alive and can protest.

?

Am I reading this right absolutely disgusting

Why the hell are yous allowed to get away with saying shit like this 🤬🤬

Scaremongering. Not true at all !!!

This cannot be true...

No. The UK is not putting people with learning difficulties or with cerebral palsy in this bracket. I have checked as I was concerned. They are not being put in the frail bracket.

Not true

Conservatives had months to prepare Britain for this, now the NHS will be forced to triage sufferers and 'prioritise' saving the 'most valued', as decreed by bottom dwelling Conservatives like MattHancock. These are the loved ones BorisJohnson told us to prepare to watch die.

No way he is the same as anyone else and in fact I bet his heart is purer and more living than the majority of people.. god bless him.

EXCUSE ME!!! What on earth.

Will this apply to Trump then!? Disgusting policy. Also they have a strict abortion law in Alabama but yet they support selection for death, or genocide!!! Glad I don’t live there.

In the US. Ffs, misleading headline AGAIN

Shameless untrue journalism

Disgusting 😡

What fresh hell is this U.S.A.?

May God keep everyone safe.Amen

MARCUS1961UK So much for prolife Alabama

They've got as much right to receive medical treatment as anyone else...this isn't Nazi Germany.

Omg I'm sat here shaking, my daughter as downsyndrome, please god this carnt be true

That's just sick and cruel

This is absolutely dreadful, discussing words fail me!!!!!

This can’t be true? This is toally horrendous what is the world turning into!

How brutal you are! Are u serious? Who gives you the power to decide on peoples' lives? Who is the God now to decide?

That’s ridiculous

This is inhuman,I am very happy that my autistic son has more care than my normal children here In UK

Shocking and discriminating.

That’s evil, who gave them the right to steal away their lives?

I think you should clarify in your headline this is America you are referring to, not that makes it better, but this is an extremely concerning ‘story’ to publish without facts. Delete.

It says In the US and it said the measures were suggested. The US wouldn't do that at all.

That almost seems like death panels will decide who lives & dies.

billyrufc4

That's evil Pure evil Disgusting thing to say or suggest
