The Italian thing about over 80 yrs old is to do with resources. They are going to lose people because the hospitals are over run. They are overrun because of the government's failure to act quick enough. Now the doctors have to make a choice in order to limit the amount of damage. Who has a better chance of and quicker recovery time between a 22 yr old and an 85 yr old? The hospital could likely help 3 x 22 yr old people with the same resources as the 85 yr old would take.
The Chinese have plenty not testing kits available, they offered us 500,000 tests a week ago, the Irish have been mass producing them too. Plenty of test kits are now available, we just don't have the facilities set up to administer them and don't know where we should start. South Korea has already tested over 250,000 people. A good government, like NZ or South Korea, would already have a plan to get this done better.
I'll stick to my morals of helping those in need first. I am actually disgusted by the logic that wealth should give you more basic human rights than someone else. You are very much on your own around here with that logic too. Some of us are actually decent human beings, you could learn a thing or two from some of them.
