I’ve heard that hospitals are saying they may as well not prevent hospital acquired covid for their high risk frail patients because they’re just “delaying the inevitable” because eventually they’ll get it elsewhere anyway. Following that logic – why do they think people visit healthcare at all? What are doctors even doing if they’re not for taking measures to stave off illness and delay death? Isn’t that THE WHOLE JOB OF HEALTHCARE? If everyone’s going to die eventually anyway and they don’t care, why practice medicine? Why do some people, especially doctors, want the most at risk to be exposed to covid so badly?
Every living creature spends a lifetime delaying injury, illness, and death.
If you don’t want to delay death for let’s say, certain people, certain groups… There’s a word for that.
