According to the McAllen, Texas affiliate WSYR:
McALLEN, TEXAS (Border Report) — In a stunning admission of how dire the COVID-19 situation is in South Texas, the health authority for one border county on Tuesday announced the formation of an ethics committee that will screen all patients for survival potential and will send home those with low probabilities.
Starr County Health Authority Dr. Jose Vazquez said Starr County Memorial Hospital, the county’s only hospital, on Tuesday implemented an ethics committee and a triage committee to review all coronavirus patients as they come in to determine what type of life-saving equipment and treatment they would likely require and whether they would likely survive. Those deemed too fragile or sick or elderly will be advised to go home to loved ones, he said.

Sarah Palin is probably having a spontaneous orgasm. The thought of Death Panels probably triggered a hormone surge.

As hospitals have become overwhelmed I expect that has quietly been happening in many places.

The thought of Death Panels probably triggered a hormone surge. i was pretty much going to say this. those fucking idiots created "death panels" to scare the uninformed masses and hey, lookie here, the GOP's epic mismanagement of the covid response has directly led to essentially the same thing, much to the chagrin of southern deplorables. karma...
