Why are covid patients given preference over life threatening cancer patients? Why are eighty or ninety year olds with covid receiving treatment yet there are those a lot younger with cancer having treatment postponed? Isn't it time, with finite resources, that age should be a factor when deciding who to to treat with any life threatening illness?

Some common sense from joko.
NHS as to prioritise in a crisis like none before. Obvs we all want treatment asap but sometimes some other case as to take priority.

Judge & derek, unless we can magic up more beds and staff what do you suggest we actually do. Try to be constructive not negative, and think how youd feel if you got covid and needed a ventilator -who should get priority over you??

Perhaps somebody who was suffering from another disease and needed a ventilator. I wonder how they would feel if a Covid patient had been given priority over them.
