The coronavirus has raged in the USA because we have a very vulnerable low paid service sector of the economy that:
a) HAS to work, has no reserve wealth,
and
b) HAS to live in crowded conditions with many people in small living spaces.
And guess what?
A lot of them work in assisted care facilities.
That was a recipe for disaster and guess what?
We got the expected disaster.

Time for us to change that.

Sweden had a simple treatment for elderly people who contracted the killer virus.
Just give them morphine and say goodbye.
Write 'em off, basically.
Dig graves.

I read the OP article and was appalled at that story of the father who died in the "care home." Of course, we don't know what his wishes were though -- maybe he was a DNR and had an advanced directive authorizing only palliative care. The staff did a poor job of explaining the administration of morphine to his family. It wasn't given to kill him. It was given to relieve the pain of dying with a respiratory condition. It suppresses respiration, yes, but it also relieves the terror felt by the person as he struggles to get enough oxygen, and it relieves the physical agony. It's routinely given around the world during dying. I've administered it myself.
