Italy Activates Death Panels: "No Ventilators For Patients Over 60"

  The state-run socialized health care authorities in Italy have now directed physicians not to put anyone over 60 years old on one of the rationed ventilators.​

  Israeli medical doctor Gai Peleg told Israeli television that in northern Italy the orders are not to allow those over 60 access to respiratory machines. That was the report carried in the Jerusalem Post.   Italy has just a fraction of the Intensive Care Bed Capacity that the USA & Germany have (per capita). This rush on medical resources has compounded the dangers of the pandemic. It's not that

  Italy suffered more coronavirus-related victims than China with 4,825 confirmed deaths and 5,000 confirmed patients in the last 24 hours, Channel 12 reported on Sunday.
  Israeli doctor Gai Peleg, who is currently working to save lives in Parma, Italy, told Channel 12 that things are only getting worse as the number of patients keeps growing.  
  As his department receives coronavirus patients who are terminally ill the focus is to allow patients to meet loved ones and communicate with them during their last moments despite the quarantine regulations. Other reports claim that, as the numbers of dead increases, some families find themselves unable to secure a proper burial for their loved ones.  
  Peleg said that, from what he sees and hears in the hospital, the instructions are not to offer access to artificial respiratory machines to patients over 60 as such machines are limited in number.
