CV and mad panic behaviour

[Mav]

I could go on and on.

I have no doubt at all about that.

I don't agree with this "opening the floodgates" argument that both LP and you are raising. If the change be specific to Covid cases, then we deal with any attempt to make similar changes in respect of other situations on a case-by-case basis. Making this change wouldn't increase the strength of those attempts.

Triage protocols exist already and various factors are already used by hospitals to ration access. I don't know what factors are used and I suspect that hospitals don't widely disseminate them as pile-ons would ensue.  Maybe EB might know.

In any event, as long as such changes were publicised beforehand, then those who make a choice to remain unvaccinated would make that choice in the full knowledge of its implications. If you know that there won't be a month-long intensive air-sea rescue attempt involving the Navy, Airforce & Border Force if you try to paddle by yourself to NZ, maybe you'd think twice about doing it.
