Read an article on SVT about an otherwise healthy COVID-19 patient over 80 being refused intensive care despite available space because he's probably going to die anyway. I wonder if this is Sweden's general approach to intensive care for very old people or coronavirus specific?

Here is the article. I wonder if the hospitals in this case are allowed to ease the passing of someone who is judged beyond recovery (not just for this illness but when hospitals deny care by nature of too low chances of recovery in general) https://www.svt.se/nyheter/lokalt/sodertalje/broderna-forlorade-sin-pappa-i-covid-19-fick-inte-intensivvard

This led me down a bit of a rabbit hole https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00134-017-4965-z
