RE: PANDEMIC - WHO GETS CURE FIRST?!?!?!?
Permalink   
 


I know that the guvernment had numerous reunions about the case and already decided some measure (a friend of mine was invited in Ottawa) and for now, there is nothing they can really do. The vaccine is not even that effective or will not be since this flu has been mutating all the time.


But getting back to the subject, that's a very though question. I would like to think that the health workers would be previously vaccined, I mean prior to the Pandemic spreads. Maybe few months before. Then I think that the children should be next, pregenant women, etc... Elderly, this is all relative. I know I might sound hard and sin corazon, bla bla bla :whateveryouwanttocallme: but would you try to save a 80 years old person or a a 40 years old ? Plse don't think about it like a personal matter, I mean forget about your own family, think about it in a "practical/logical" way because it is the only way of going through this kind of crisis.


For the moment, I have my mask, surgical gloves and desinfectante, cloro and some tabs for the first symptoms of (regular) flu. I think this is the best I can do as the rest of us.


I hope that nobody got offended, I am usually very pragamatic (if it is the right word) in those situations. I tend to think con la cabeza (fria) and not with my emotions.

I was watching the news and they possed this very interesting question.

I'm hoping that you guys can provide your two cents. I'm also hoping the thread stays on topic 'cause this is actually something serious that can affect us all.......but you know foro threads.......Let's see how long it lasts.


The question was:

In the event of a Pandemic (refering to the Avian Bird Flu), who gets the vaccine first??!?

THey estimate that only 10% of the people will be able to get treated due to the shortage of the vaccine......so which 10% are the lucky ones???

Federal policy states that in such an event.......the elderly and the children should be the first to get treated.

However.....two medical ethecists from the National Institute of Health....argue that after administering the vaccine to essential health workers.....that the next in line should be people from 13 - 40 years of age.


What do you guys think?????
