Since Coronavirus affecting the old is sure to kill them this ex-nurse, Professor June Andrews, feels that is one way to unblock hospital beds.
Old people, the world over many of whom are subjected to torture what with Alzheimer’s and such diseases could die a more dignified death if they contracted this disease.
Cruel as it may sound there is truth in this statement. Countless have commented on this declaration. Here is the link

That is a positive way of looking at things. But I’d say that is not the way things are with the corona virus.
Being an ex-nurse perhaps she knows better
Most old patient die of pneumonia and they also have bed sores. Eventually they die a natural death but wishing they will contract the virus is I’ll wish.
They are divided opinions on this vile thought.
Yes there are always opposing views to an issue
True but very cruel of her!!
May be she was open about what she thought was best under the circumstances.
This is horrible. She should not say this.
Perhaps she has been a witness to the torment and torture seniors go through in that this ailment perhaps would be a better option – just saying.
The ex-nurse has valid points but the fact is coronavirus isn’t a blessing at all. The ethical features should be approached from a different perspective.
What the ex-nurse feels according to me is while this disease cannot be controlled atleast she thinks those elderly who are tortured by loneliness and neglect will rest in peace with dignity.
That is unfortunately true. I suppose this needs more attention or research into possible solutions in the future may have to be looked at.
That is unfortunately true.
I can see only one good thing from the virsus, people will stay home when they are sick and not infect others with the sickness.
The issue here is about this disease having reached the world, this ex nurse thinks it is good for the old who anyway suffer.
It’s an interesting perspective but I find that it has a bitter ethical taste to it.
Who can dispute this ex-nurse’s statement?
Generally speaking. Probably no one.
Most seniors today are left to fend for themselves more out of compulsion and not by choice. Children have their own load of issues to deal with.
