^ Mahler, You WILL BE INCAPACITATED. You will not be able to choose. The healthcare workers will have to choose who lives or dies if the system is overwhelmed. Literally the choice seems to be, "let you die", or "try something else". That is why we see talented engineers even contemplating home-made ventilators. The issue is whether they let you die or not. The Agnelli family, owners of Ferrari, donated $10M USD to help do what? Buy more ventilators and medical equipment for those who are sick and dying. "Best practices" is a phrase that does not apply. It is meaningless when the "standard of care" threshold has been exceeded by a factor of more than 2. In these cases, by more than 4.
Do you ever leave the pot fields of Nor Cal long enough to watch or read about what is happening in Italy? That is what the USA is trying to avoid, that is the reason for this thread, and that is what everyone else is talking about. I guess you would be one of those who would be allowed to die while you wait for your chosen brand of medicine to show up.
