Covid sceptics should be denied hospital beds, says economist

Nov 17, 2020

“Corona rebels” should be dealt with more toughly, for example hefty fines for not wearing a mask, says Willy Oggier, a Swiss health economist.

“I also propose that Covid sceptics be entered into a register and forfeit their right to an emergency bed or place in an intensive care unit in the event of a shortage,” Oggier said in an interview with Tamedia newspapers on Tuesday. “Anyone charged with wilfully disregarding social distancing and hygiene rules should bear responsibility for their actions.”

He explained that from an economic point of view “the more relaxed the measures, the more strictly they must be enforced – otherwise we won’t be able to control the infection rates quickly enough”.

Why you never want government in charge of health care services. Too many people like that exist and many work in government.

Sounds good. I know how hang an IV pole and set up an intravenous port by finding the brachial vein without the help of some rich corporation like a hospital. No thanks.

I don’t know about you but we’re tripping over dead bodies on Canada. It’s a nightmare
