Sure over here it's natural that typical triage processes tend to treat the younger crowd of gun shot wounds stabbings and nail-gun shootings before coughs, snot noses and falls. OTOH I watched and/or participated in old foks with possible strokes and heart attacks going to the front of the queue
They go to the front of the queue if there are facilities to treat them. Normally, there are enough ICU beds for everyone who needs one.
In Italy now, there are not enough ICU beds to go around. So what do you do? Who do you treat and who do you leave to possibly die?
