Enwerp, March 3, 2020, Friday

In Belgium, a 3-year-old Corona-positive woman died while refusing to take a ventilator to the hospital during treatment. The elderly woman told the doctor that the ventilator should be saved for a young patient as she had lived a good life, according to information obtained by Suzanne Hollertus, who lives in Bincombe, near Lબેbeck, Belgium, had trouble breathing suddenly. Corona infection, therefore, was noticed during a hospital examination on March 7. Since the corona was positive, it was kept in isolation, but suddenly the condition worsened on a ventilator that had worsened. The doctor decided to put the woman on an artificial respiratory system and said that the ventilator should be saved for young patients.

However, the 3-year-old woman lived two days after refusing to take ventilator. The elderly knew that medical equipment and ventilators were becoming scarce even in countries with good health services, which was why the refusal of the ventilator to give to young patients was expressed.

The deceased elderly 3-year-old daughter, Judith, told an Belgian local newspaper in an interview that she did not understand how her mother was exposed to the corona virus. Even before the epidemic, she always kept herself in self isolation. The mother wanted the ventilators to be used for the future of the country. In Belgium, there have been more than 3 cases of corona virus while more than 4 have died. With the spread of the Kora virus in Italy and the United States, fears are rising in countries including Europe, such that maintaining the health of the elderly has become a challenge.
