Triage on the horizon

It looks like we are getting closer and closer to enacting the triage protocol. If that happens, I will ratchet back on activities that have higher probability of me needing the ICU. The draft protocol didn't look at your age, general health or quality of life, it was purely on odds of surviving 12 months. It would suck to die from an otherwise survivable crash. Obviously it's a personal decision and others may choose differently. Ride safe folks.

The real problem with triage ( IMO) is there will be a list of things to consider, and then it will be a judgement call by some guy that has been 12hrs a day for 28 days running an ICU.

my immediate thoughts are a simple checklist , antimasker? did you follow the stay at home order? anti vaccer? You'll be just fine, we'll put you out here on the loading dock for your own safety , keep you away from the ligitimatly sick folks.

I don't disagree but sadly none of your criteria are on the list. Maybe if gov't offered people an anti-vax signup form that was coupled with a DNR people would think differently.

Half these kooks only have these beliefs until it negatively effects them or they realize it might actually mean they don't get "fixed" by the educated people when they're in need. Like people who scream "Big Pharma" and trumpet natural remedies and all that crunchy granola crap, but the second they end up in the hospital for something serious they are suddenly perfectly fine with a shot of morphine, antibiotics, and all the sciency stuff they otherwise spend 23 hours a day on Facebook railing against.

Do an awake intubation on a few of these "covid is fake" jerks when they show up and can't breathe and that'll make believers out of them. It's no fun, I speak from experience.
