The Billionaires will have their senior family members treated with the best care, regardless of rules. If there aren't enough ventilators during the big wave of the virus hitting [[and that's very likely), I could see hospitals in USA obeying that directive of saving non-seniors first. It's already happened in Italy, and they've had that type of rule for ALL emergency AND long-term care for the elderly in Germany for the last 20 years. When facilities or medicine are limited, the oldest are the first cut off from whatever is in short supply [[including operations).
The Government needs to focus policy on saving as many lives as possible, and worry about the economy later. They could transfer money from the military to the people hurt economically to help fix the economy, and ensure that any help given to banks and corporations goes to helping the nation's overall economy, NOT just to line the pockets of the billionaires. In the meantime, thousands of aged people, who would otherwise still have 10-15-20-25, or 30 years more to live, won't have to lose those years because of rich people's greed.
I wonder what all those NON-wealthy people who voted for Trump think of him now? they wanted a change in how government behaved. They got a man who is willing to sacrifice thousands of lives so he and his rich friends can make tonnes more of money, or, at least not lose money due to a major crisis. He also said he would do something to control guns more after the school massacres, but when it came to action, he sided with The NRA. He first said that The US Government will do all it can to save lives, but now he just told us that they won't.
