Wouldn't? Or did they actually face their healthcare system at capacity, with no ability to treat everyone that needed it?
I would point out that they got hit hard so early that we didn't know about Trump pills, and healthcare workers had a legitimate excuse to not know that ventilators are a TERRIBLE way to treat CCPvirus, especially when you use a ventilator in the usual way.
I already knew how ventilators would be misused, and most US Drs are still making that mistake. But I think data does support the "ICU beds and ventilators" shortage that kicked off the media induced hysteria here.
Yes, wouldn't. It came down to a choice, and they chose a class of people to exclude from treatment, and that was the elderly. They chose the people who were most vulnerable to it and let them die.
"It came down to a choice." Meaning that they actually were at capacity, and didn't have enough ventilators, and had to choose who to treat and who to let die?
...and that right there is why the mortality rate in Italy was so high. They wouldn't treat the elderly.

What exactly are you arguing? It seems like you are aggressively agreeing with us.
Yes, their hospitals were at capacity, so they death paneled the elderly... because that's how universal healthcare works.
