The whole argument is centered around critical care, so any alleged comparison you want to make requires that same underlying threat. Outside of bad flu seasons, things like heart attacks, diabetes (for now), etc. don't present the same resource demands. Therefore, they are a bad analogy, no matter how many times Patriots™ repeat the bad points

You do realize there were patients in hospitals for reasons other than COVID during the hospital bed shortage issue right? Shouldn't they have kicked out the people who basically caused their own illness via unhealthy habits, so that more resources could be allocated to those who took the vaccine and were still needing to be hospitalized?

Impossible.

NO it's possible. We did control them, just too much in most areas. We needed more spread, especially among those less likely to face negative consequences.

Stay consistent with this logic then. No treatment for anyone that chooses to allow themselves to suffer from any illness.

---

Again, you're trying an illogical "Gotcha" and ignoring the actual variables being discussed.

quote:

---

Critical care is necessary for more than just covid patients

---

I'm not arguing that. Even more reason when there is a crunch due to covid-demand that we make people responsible for their covid-related choices.

This is a personal responsibility argument.

No b/c that demand is expected.

The covid-related demand was the issue. We don't want to deny care to normal people b/c of too much covid-demand from bad personal choices like choosing not to take the path that would decrease severe effects. We want to reward those who made that choice during a pandemic and critical care rationing.

Why does personal responsibility only apply to COVID patients?

I imagine the south will have another variant wreck shop in July/August when it gets too hot for extended outdoor time and people congregate inside.

By "wreck shop" do you mean "go unnoticed or at worst cause the sniffles for a day and a half"?

Well, a more accurate description is that they shouldn't be given hospital beds in the first place, in that scenario.

You seem to have left out part of my post. Here, I’ll repost and bold it again to help you notice this time:

while preemptively offering a blanket pardon from those same consequences to fatasses like yourself?

quote:

---

their choices hurt others by denying people who made better choices care, they are morally responsible.

---

So when your choices that led to you being a fat piece of shite lead you to have a heart attack, heart disease, etc, and your subsequent hospital stay keeps a perfectly healthy person injured in a car accident they weren’t at fault for from getting a hospital bed, you’ll be doing what exactly?

Call it the "frick around and find out CV19 hospital bed policy".

So cool and edgy, but I bet you won’t want to talk about the “frick around and find out worthless fatass hospital bed policy”
