    A framework for rationing ventilators and critical care beds during the COVID-19 pandemic is proposed, in the event that ICUs find themselves with more patients than they can care for. The framework uses a score-based system that incorporates patients' likelihood of surviving to hospital discharge and beyond. It also takes into account their role in the public health response to the outbreak.
