Does that mean they're just triaging them and letting them die?

  It hurts me to say this, but that's what happened in Wuhan for the first few weeks.

    Could you just clarify how you got this information? Did you witness it directly?

      There was a video taken of one of the hospitals in Wuhan around that time, with what looked like at least 1000 people lined up and corpses in the hallways. Put two and two together.

  That's exactly what it means. If you go in /r/europe there was an interview with a doctor posted confirming this https://www.reddit.com/r/europe/comments/ffs5ng/coronavirus_doctor_in_bergamo_its_like_a_war_we/ https://www.reddit.com/r/europe/comments/ffs5ng/coronavirus_...

  That's what you need to do when the country is unprepared, and the health service is overwhelmed. Similar situations will play out in the US unless strict protocols are enforced now.

  In the UK one of our top health people said that if this gets out of control "hard decisions will have to be made" That's basically a nice way of saying "We will have to let people die" If you don't have beds and incubutors, you can't treat people. Then people start dying.
