Well, we now have another official national emergency. I believe it was Georgia where I heard that hospitals are putting plans in place where if they get too many people in hospitals requiring the need for equipment to assist in breathing, that they may reach the point where the decision will have to be made to take some people who don't have a good prognosis off assisted breathing. This would free up the equipment for those who it is determined might have a better chance of recovery.
Can you say "Death Panel"?
