Sweden did the same. In Sweden, Dr Jon Tallinger, a GP, blew the whistle on euthanasia; he now works in Denmark instead of Sweden; "Instead of being given oxygen treatments at home or admitted to a hospital even when there is ICU capacity to treat them, the elderly and people over 60 with risk factors, Dr. Tallinger says, are often being prescribed morphine or other palliative pain medication (which does nothing to improve breathing) while being kept at home where they are essentially left to expire.

"How would you feel if you find out that your parent in the nursing home will not be given critical care, or curative care, or oxygen therapy, because they are deemed 'irrelevant,'" he wrote in a May 21, 2020 online essay.

"If an elderly patient eventually loses the fight with COVID-19, I say as a doctor that it is far more humane to let them die of narcosis and carbon dioxide after we have done our best to save the patient, instead of resorting primarily to morphine and breathing complications when they have contracted COVID-19 — all while denying them oxygen therapy and necessary medical attention," he wrote."

Where do these guys get off, playing God with our precious elderly? Karma is watching and she is going to deliver a 10 fold blow!
