The troubling morality behind government Covid-19 emergency actions is unmistakably apparent.
Seniors in UK are being actively put on DNR or forced to sign advance directives that would deny them temporary medical care they might need to recover from an illness, with heartbreaking stories of anguish for them and their families, desperately trying to fight the government health system. The government’s pretense for this move was hospitals being overrun due to Covid-19, which was easily debunked by actual NHS evidence showing hospitals are generally less busy than during last year’s winter viral season.

Governor Grisham in New Mexico issued an executive order on December 4, making it more expedient for hospitals to implement rationing and the “fair” allocation of resources, claiming spiraling hospitalizations. She gave her medical advisory team power to invoke “Crisis Care standards,” which enable hospitals to begin rationing care and resources against the weakest, based on the “complete lives system.” Her executive order also permitted healthcare professionals to practice medicine outside their license by granting them “Covid-19 credentials” and removing any liability for wrongdoing.
The complete lives system outlines how medical resources in government-managed care should be allocated, calling for care not to be “wasted” on older people, infants and the disabled, believing their productive worth is not as valuable to society. It’s a variation of Nazi “useless eaters” concept.
But there was no real emergent situation warranting discussions of not caring for our most vulnerable. When Grisham issued her eugenics-laced rationing, NM reportedly had 925 total Covid-19 hospitalizations. Remember, this is defined as patients with positive pcr test results – not patients actually sick with and being treated for COVID-19; these numbers include everyone hospitalized for other care and happen to test positive using a highly unreliable pcr test.
NM has 3,884 staffed hospital beds, according to the American Hospital Directory. This means that 76% of hospital beds were not caring for Covid-19-positive patients or empty.
In contrast to the Governor’s assertions, when she issued her wanton rationing order, NM Department of Health’s Hospitalization Report showed average 7-day rolling new “Covid-19” hospitalizations had been dropping steadily since mid-November, with 312 new admissions on November 30th.

A week later, the December 7 Hospitalization Update showed hospitalizations continuing to drop with only 253 new admissions over the past week. And weekly deaths had plummeted over the past month – now half what they were the first week of November – even after Thanksgiving family gatherings and travel.
Why isn’t media and government reporting what hospital occupancies were last year and during past viral seasons to put things into perspective? Experienced medical professionals know that hospitals are always busier during the winter cold and flu season. Hospitals are packed, with patients being treated in hallways and even tents, and staff working overtime… as they were in 2018! As a former New Mexico ICU nurse, wintertime meant 12- and 16-hour shifts and overtime, patients and staff juggled around to accommodate care needs, and we worked our butts off.

It would have been unthinkable to not care for someone because they happened to be of retirement age. Elderly are always at higher risks from viruses, but Covid-19 is no more dangerous for them than other viruses. It would also have been unthinkable to not care for premature babies because they are at higher risks from viruses.
Look how far we’ve decayed.
Hopefully, people are seeing what is happening. Covid-19 scares are being used to expedite facets of eugenics slipping into government-run medical care. Medical ethics and moral conscience is the unspoken casualty.
