Here's just part of the larger article but you can get the jest, the Italians are in a very bad spot. That those in power have to decide who lives and who dies is beyond the pale based solely on there is no room for doctors to treat the sick!
Interesting enough though, what we are witnessing in Italy is exactly what will happen with "single payer" health care that Ol' Joe Biden and the democraaats are says he will bring to America if elected president.
''Single Payer'' brings back the "death panels'' from OgbjmmaCare where a panel of doctors and bureaucrats must decide a person's worth in the larger society before allowing them to receive life saving care.
Some people are more important they others. And who better to decide this then democraaats!

If You’re Over 80 in Italy and Have Coronavirus You Are Out of Luck
“Italian coronavirus patients who are 80 or older will not receive intensive care if the crisis worsens, under emergency plans being proposed in Turin. The plans drawn up by civil protection officials warn that ‘it will be necessary to apply criteria for access to intensive treatment’ if there are too many patients. The document, seen by the Daily Telegraph, proposes that these criteria must include the age of less than 80. Doctors have already described making life-or-death decisions about who can be treated and who may effectively be left to die.”
One Italian doctor has described the situation as something akin to being in a war. Too many Italians, many of them elderly and some with other health conditions, are coming down with more serious forms of the coronavirus that need a stay in an ICU with a ventilator and medications to get them through. So Italian healthcare authorities are contemplating an extreme form of triage, in which the old are allowed to die in order to give the young and sick a chance to survive.
