That is fucking unbelievable. Who gets to decide these factors and how to weight them? The health care facility? That's some of the most bigoted shit I have ever seen in my life. It should be like all health care. First come first serve. Are we seriously going to go down the route of "Eh, that person's old and probably going to die soon anyway"? You all can GTFO with that.

Honestly, I don't even think that's the worst part.

They are essentially saying if there's a shortage, treat minorities first. You know, for equality. But they are trying to be sneaky about it because of those pesky discrimination laws.

And yes, it should be first come first serve.

I especially like this part here:

What raises the most concern is the idea that members of "disadvantaged communities" should be given a better chance at receiving treatment than others. According to the guidance, because "low-income communities and certain racial/ethnic minorities" are being disproportionately burdened by the coronavirus, the end goal of public health is served by benefitting some groups over others. According to the guidance, "the rationale is that a core goal of public health is to redress inequities that make health and safety less accessible to disadvantaged groups."

I mean what the actual fuck?

If you need to get tested, get tested. If you have COVID, get treated.

Making sure disadvantaged communities have an equal chance to reach out for help and/or be treated/tested... great.

Getting them help "first"... bullshit. Political self-serving nonsense.

Trump spent a large part of his press conference today talking about this.

Who the fuck cares what Biden thinks? Biden can't mandate a damn fucking thing until he is the President.

Trump stammering and slurring about it now is completely irrelevant other than to stir the passions of his supporters.

That scary Biden guy can't do dick for at least four months.

And if the virus is still full bore like it is now in January then Trump's epic fail is solidified as one for the ages.

Trump can't mandate masks nationwide either.....10th Amendment


A lot of people that accuse Trump of being a dictator sure want him to act like one.

I mean I think it's kind of relevant to address what the other option at President plans to do.

If that option involves something that is hopefully gone in January, it is irrelevant. Taxes, healthcare etc...sure.

Exactly, the Biden campaign are the ones making a huge issue out of the virus. It's practically the centerpiece of their campaign.

It's all they have outside of the socialist crap, and I doubt they wanted to come out of the gate with that.

)I see the Democrats are cranking out scare stats by saying there is 500,000 new cases of Corona 19 virus. That’s a meaningless stat because it doesn’t take in consideration the inaccurate numbers generated by false positive testing. Why doesn’t someone dig our how many people are actually hospitalized from the virus because that is a meaningful number to see what the trends are. The best I can tell there is about 10,000 actual hospitalized patients from the virus but even that number isn’t readily available.

Wooooowwwwwwwww.

That's what dictators do. That's horrifying.
Doubling horrifying that it's Australia. Not some former or current Communist government, but a western-style democracy.

I always wanted to visit there... guess I need to in the next couple of years before they turn all the way.

Looks like the new world order is trying to flex their muscles a bit to see how the rest of the world will take it. If there isn't much resistance, then they'll see how much further they can push.
