Then I read about the people they wanted to send to the FEMA camp in Alabama
Coronavirus: Weakest patients could be denied lifesaving care due to lack of funding for NHS, doctors admit......Those denied intensive care beds could be those suffering with coronavirus or other seriously ill patients, with priority given to those most likely to survive and recover.

I have already self-isolated, but my husband still goes to work every day, and our 14 y/o granddaughter spends every other weekend with us.
If I get this virus, there is no medical intervention that will save me, so I won't waste resources or money seeking treatment.
I'm just thankful for the days I've had, and any tomorrows that may come my way.
Yeah, I'm pretty much the same way.
If and when I do go, I want to do it with dignity, class, and style.
But in reality it'll be with humor, booze, and plenty of screaming.
I'm currently working for the NHS supply chain so am in and around hospitals all day , I've taken a Corona blood sample from one hospital to another today without concern , there are worse things out there.

I think there is a reasonable chance that many of us will get the virus.
The fatality rate is about 2-3 percent, unless you're older than 80
Eighty percent of the people who get it have mild symptoms.
If I get it, I hope I'm in that 80 percent

In our healthcare system they do not put you high up on a list for a liver or kidney transplant if you are old and sickly here.

Actually, this virus is strange in the sense that it barely touches the kids. Even the barely young ones. There have not yet been any recorded fatalities in children under 10 and barely any in the next higher age bracket.
You really don't start ramping up your risk until you start adding in age and cardiovascular, pulmonary, and similar health conditions.
