re: #166 lawhawk

Not only should they be on no-fly lists, but we’d be able to reduce outbreak spread by mandating vaccinations to board any flights originating/terminating in the US.

It should be done, but wont because people think that this is somehow a restriction on “freedom”.

Oh, and the antivax nuts are now insisting that they should be able to leave the ICU to go seek out their horse dewormer and other woo treatments.

Yeah, the people hooked up to machines that let them breath are going to get a miracle cure via ivermectin or some other nonsense. No. They wont get cured, but if they leave the ICU, it’d free up resources for those who truly need and deserve it.

I think I’d make this policy: “Yes, you can leave the ICU to go get whatever alternative treatment you want. However, you can’t come back. If you take your ICU-bound patient to get alternative treatment, you waive all right to hospital treatment for the duration of their infection and assume all responsibility for their care. If they die, we are not liable.”
