Limiting treatment for older people with Covid-19 may violate civil-rights law

Leave it to some ivory tower nerd like Guelzo to make a moral and legal point of a hospital's responsibility to torture grandma on her way out, then loot the estate after she passes:

"52 patients were given non-invasive ventilation at ICU admission, of whom 22 (76%) required further orotracheal intubation and invasive mechanical ventilation. The ICU mortality rate among those who required non-invasive ventilation was 23 (79%) of 29 and among those who required invasive mechanical ventilation was 19 (86%) of 22."[0]
