With the peak of Covid-19 infections still ahead and medical supplies still scarce, hospitals and physicians are gearing up for a nearly impossible challenge: deciding who gets a life-saving ventilator and who doesn't.
"Physicians who work in parts of the world that don't have adequate resources have had to make decisions like this maybe even on a routine basis, but physicians in the United States have never faced anything like this before," said Dr. Robert Truog, director of the Center for Bioethics at Harvard Medical School."It is going to be extremely difficult.
This is a scare tactic and CNN toting it is part of the problem not the solution.
This is not the time. Soon you will be having people dying alone in overcrowded hospital corridors without ventilators just being given pain killers to help against the coughing as your heath systems are overwhelmed Save the old or young? This is Italy, Spain and soon others
May the Almighty healing from Jesus Christ heal this land
This is very serious
We're getting attacked on a molecular level This is molecular warfare COVID2019 CoronavirusPandemic CoronavirusOutbreak COVIID_19
Continue sabotage reporting rather than good journalism that help the people take right steps towards recovery
fake news hysteria for dnCNN. I hope you cover flu season with this much zeal next winter...
No they're not. Why is CNN ignoring all the independent reports of how quiet hospitals are around the US. There is no fear of running out if any medical equipment. This is becoming laughable.
That's actually not what they're deciding. They are coming up with protocols like they do for every disease. This is bad enough, don't use scare tactics for clickbait to make it even worse.
As people die, it frees up vents, NOBODY in the US that needs a vent is going without one! Tons are not being used. They use these FAKE PROJECTION to spin this crap. Nobody knows is the truth. NYGovCuomo won't say how many people are actually on them each day!
We would be happy if China 🇨🇳 would .....
That is Murder When hospitals, local, state, and the federal government failed to properly prepare for a pandemic, Now they are planning to murder the elderly, the mentally and physically disabled by withholding life saving care. SayNo to this planned murder
it is now is that you take realize ? in France it's the same thing
The most important thing now is that American citizens are at home, not parties, bars, etc.
Stop your fear mongering
如果不是美国隐瞒本国病毒源头，并用流感隐瞒新冠病毒疫情，不给民众新冠病毒检测，同期误导世界病毒在中国，那么盯着中国就好，只要中国控制住病毒世界就安全。在美国这样误导世界的逻辑下很多国家都认为病毒源头是中国，忽视了美国和欧洲已经蔓延5、6个月的事实，通过欧美传遍全球最后造成全球灾难？
Loosing some more viewers what? Hourly? Zero integrity....We are given choices in life...GOOD and Bad...clearly you fake news -full-of-hate journalism chose the latter....KARMA
My daughters in RN working with patients my sons in the National Guard testing patients pray for these heroes
Its almost funny now, how obvious your scare tactics are. Do you wonder if anyone believes you.
terible
Is this America? Under Trump , the answer is YES .., because Trumpis not presidential. His policy is about money not “life.” He is even willing to risk foreign visitor’s lives by not wearing masks.
This is horrible! I would never want to be in a position to have to make such decisions!
Why don’t the just divert patients to hospitals that have no lines, no waiting. A lot of those out there because the canceled elective procedures for the apocalypse that’s not happening.
SethAbramson Simple solution If you voted for Trump, back of the line.
SethAbramson Fuck. That is really the mildest reaction I can muster.
Algorithms kill elders in Spain, Italy and make bad rates growing.
What a difficult time we all of a sudden find ourselves living in. A human life is a human life, which speaks more to the urgency of flattening the curve. We’re already asking much from the medical profession and owe it to them to StayHomeSaveLives
How are the childrenincages doing
Can you come up with a better idea.?Life and death decisions must be made. Do you recall how you made fun of the Senator who said he would sacrifice his life for the next generation. This is what he meant— leaps ahead of you !
Those are just the poor people.
No one knows tomorrow Japan is out of control
😔
According th the democrats triage runs as follows: 1st -treat all illegal aliens..2nd- any refuges.. 3rd- any political correctness recognized group USA citizen.. 4th- NEVER ever provide treatment to the straight white male American citizen..unfortunately I’m not exaggerating
And if trump gets that far he better be rated same as the rest of us. Fat, old, drug addict.
This is not true and u are campaigning against Trump
Guess these are those death panels Pailin warned about. Wait, how can this be, the failure in the White House is a repug. Republicans = mass death 💀
Bullshit! Those are crisis management plans that any hospital is required to have.
Crying when I see this article.
🥺
Oh great, now trump will blame Obama for the death panels...
Heartbreaking for all involved. Patients, Families, and the guilt Physicians will be left with for the rest of their lives. StayHome
When the outbreak hit wuhan, other Chinese provinces sent 40,000 medical workers to support the city. Now that the outbreak is under control. Health care workers from other states can come to New York to support health care workers in New York. Is that hard to do in the US？
Holy shit CNN is so stupid. IT'S CALLED TRIAGE!! Pathetic.
The virus is a terrorist
That's messed up

Triage on the homefront.
T R U M P = Trump Recklessly Underestimated Massive Pandemic .
So if you go to hospital and they tell you you're a Federal Case ... means your care is still in the Kushner stock pile realDonaldTrump
In other words it's not a good time to have a heart attack.
You mean it’s not according to the best insurance?
