Don't think its cynicism Lynne - its logic. Yes they are not putting "official" roadblocks restricting treatment only to the sickest (as elsewhere, and I agree Chester that this is a paradigm shift, well at least on paper)
However, in practice they mst be triaged supply purely due to the cost factor. The financial ability to treat only a relatively small proportion of the infected population means that everyone can't get treated. Unless Gilead dramatically drops their price, the aussie $ skyrockets in value, or another much more affordable supply chain is found. Hands up anyone who thinks those are likely.
