(6,139 posts)tough decision but the right one. If you are 60 or older, self isolate for months cause no ventilators for you.

(17,611 posts)There have been warnings. Say bye bye to Grandpa now and beat the rush. If one of us old farts gets sick in the next week or two we are probably going to be pushing up grass by tax day. If you are way over 60, like I am, you better be damn careful, or you can go from fat and sassy to cremation before you can say don't do it.
Tell me that this is a real deal, I don't want to die from a hoax virus....

(10,067 posts)this guy without a link to a legitimate site. This has been a Russian talking point put out around the world more than a few weeks ago and until I hear it from the actual well sourced and trustworthy sources, I will stay skeptical, be careful what you believe and spread.

(17,611 posts)The information is substantially correct. Go check out the story from yesterday on CBS. (one of the morning shows)
You can find a story talking with American Doctors about the coming rationing of medical supplies and equipment, and the choices that they will have to make about who lives and who is allowed to die. It is not a pretty reality, but it is the coming to a hospital near you reality.
