Some people are given the black tag because they can't be saved - so it would waste resources to try and save them. Never mind that Italy-contray to the reputation of the Italian Government - has one of the most capable medical systems in the world.
From what I understand, the Black Tag approach in Italy is still being considered as a worst-case scenario, not one that's been implemented already. The fact they've been willing to speak publicly of it is still terrifying though.
