This one is largely in line with what Lorenzo is saying. I'm on a statisticians' mailing list where statisticians and some epidemiologists have discussed this, and it seems all are fine with it. The data is in line with what's published by official sources. Arguments seem to hold water. It's very long and statistical, but makes a lot of sense.

Well, not exactly. Doctors dont refuse to treat old people.
The problem is that this virus creates in a great number of subjects pneumonia that may require intensive therapy that is artificial respiration. Each state has its own number of places in intensive therapy, it depends on public health places. In Italy, due to the increase in private health, public health has been partly dismantled, and so in the North are almost saturated intensive therapy places. For now doctors deny that for missing places in intensive therapy they do a selection based on age but in some cases it could be made.

What we could use are those easy-use ventilators they send you home with after a hospital stay, so when you're lying down fluid doesn't start to form in the lungs.   They're easy, it's just a canister with a hose connected & mouthpiece you use every so often to make sure the lungs are being worked.

It ain't rocket science.

This is my last day at work. I will be working from home starting next week. We're going to try and ride this one out and hope a vaccine arrives sooner than later. The U.S. may be 1-2 weeks behind Italy. Drastic actions need to be taken soon before our hospitals become overwhelmed.

I am shocked by Boris Johnson's speech that he wants to prepare the people to lose their loved ones, or grandparents, in the name of the economy, hoping that the hope of 'herd immunity' will be vented. As a biologist I say that the concept of herd immunity already makes no sense, let alone now what sense it may make towards a virus that we do not know, new, that has only recently arrived in Europe. 

Last night, the infectious chief of the Sacco hospital in Milan called the policy adopted by the British Government "criminal".
