Early last month, the Italian Society of Anaesthesia was forced to publish the above guideline (1) for the country's hospitals. Besides the rising cases of infection, the doctors realised that patients required up to 15-20 days of intensive care as the disease progressed (2). In the face of medical resource scarcities, the guideline established that everyone could not be saved from the coronavirus. And a massive death toll ensued.
上月初，意大利麻醉学会被迫为该国医院发布上述指南（1）。除了感染病例不断增加外，医生们还意识到，随着病情发展，患者需要长达15至20天的重症监护（2）。面对医疗资源短缺的情况，该指南规定，并非每个人都能从新冠病毒中获救。随后便出现了大量死亡病例。
