What happened?
Drosten had explained the classification system at an event, in which doctors have to classify patients for care when intensive care units are overloaded. And this is exactly how the current crown measures of the federal and state governments are justified to avoid the emergency of classification.
Drosten gave an example: An older Covid 19 patient who has a 30 to 50 percent chance of survival needs to be ventilated in an intensive care unit. If a 35-year-old crown patient with a severe course, who has young children, also had to be ventilated, doctors would have to make a decision as to whether the older patient should be removed from the ventilator in such a case.
Criticism of Drosten
Professor Janssens, head of the German intensive care physicians who must perform this triage in an emergency, told the Rheinische Post: fight against pandemics.
However, I cannot understand your comments about a possible triage threat in Germany and consider them irresponsible. By warning against this in this way, you frighten people unnecessarily. “
And the intensive care doctor went on to say: Despite the shortage of staff, it is far from such conditions.
Janssens literally: “Mr. Drosten should stay out of the discussion about capacity bottlenecks in intensive care units.”
