I'm sorry to say this, but for the greater good of the country, Italy has no choice but to do so, because today Italy has become one of the countries with the worst outbreaks outside of China, and because of the surge in diagnosed patients, the Icu that Italy has has become a scarcity, and all kinds of material resources as well as medicines have become scarce, so they want to leave these resources to those who can live longer.
This is a difficult trade-off for anyone in Italy because it's about morality and emotion, and it's about human life, and rationally speaking, the elderly who are seriously ill with the new coronavirus do have a very high chance of dying, why is that? Because from the data, most of the deaths are those who are older, and those who are younger can either heal on their own, or can be treated with medication entitlements and already with this example, Italy has to make trade-offs while resources are very tight nowadays, if Italy has a lot of resources for medication, or if there are a lot of healthcare workers, medical equipment, beds for these confirmed patients, then everything could be solved, but the problem is that today the number of confirmed cases has increased much faster than Italy can afford.
For the Italian side, spending those resources on saving the lives of the seriously ill elderly may ultimately fail to save their lives, but it would obviously make more sense to use those drugs on the young, or those who can live longer, But in any case, this is unacceptable to the families and friends of those old people, because any life is equal, not because of his time to become active to give up treatment. But there is no way, now the medical equipment and supplies and personnel can only use them in the more valuable place above, those doctors can only focus on easier to treat patients above, there is no doubt that Italy such decision-making is indeed too cruel, and too cruel. But I think why can't they take precautions earlier, after all, China has given these countries a month's preparation time, they know that China is caught up in the new coronavirus, their own country should do a good job of protection, the country should spread a sense of awareness to the general public is the face of the epidemic what people are the same, we can't afford to take it lightly. If Italy had done this kind of awareness early, early with good masks to go out, then this phenomenon will not appear.
