What some of you called my really bad idea is gaining traction - putting unvaccinated people at the end of the treatment line:

It's a horrid idea no matter who is proposing it.

Triage decisions have to be made on some criteria. What do you propose that criteria be? It makes logical sense.

Those in need of a new liver because they drank their liver away are not near the top of liver transplant list, as an example.


I’ve wondered about insurance companies wielding the power of payment. As in “if you don’t get vaccinated, if we don’t have a record of your vaccination, we won’t pay for any covid treatment or will pay reduce amount.”

If this latter thing would happen, I personally would sit on DH and stick that vaccine into his arm.

I heard in Singapore insurers won't pay if you aren't vaccinated.

My DH Is free to make decisions about his body and health, but when it comes to our finances, nope, stupidity is not allowed. He may not risk our assets by a long hospital stay. So I guess that’s my line in the sand.

Local news here said that in one of our rural areas ambulances type services have been so busy transferring patients to various hospitals with available beds or ICUs because of overflow that they've had to delay some emergency services calls.

I have always thought it stupid that once you are admitted to a hospital you can be well enough to ride to another hospital in the car of a family member but they insist you be transported via ambulance. It is a way for the medical establishment to make money.

I'm not sure how well IVs and intubation units and other life supports travel in cars. An example of how your 80% vaccination rate isn't working unlike you suggested earlier.

The situations in which I or family members have wished to transport people were pre-covid and did not involve IVs or intubation units. I would be surprised if every covid-19 patient looking for a bed is hooked up this way.

Perhaps you should offer your expertise to the people who write the medical transport protocols. You clearly are an expert on such things.
