Abstract
As we enter 2022, the challenge of fairly allocating scarce medical capacity in response to the COVID-19 pandemic continues. New oral antivirals are available, but in short supply. The omicron variant has heightened the scarcity of monoclonal antibodies as two other frequently used antibody therapies are ineffective against it. And medical personnel are overstretched.
