The (less feasible) scenario of redistributing available beds and ventilators according to provincial need within each country was generally estimated to have less of an impact on the number of avoidable deaths, compared to mobilization of oseltamivir ( Figure 5 ). In the case of ventilators, this highlights how the large numbers of deaths attributed to gaps in this resource (Figure 3 ) are mostly due to overall nationwide shortages of ventilators, rather than an inequitable distribution of ventilators within most countries. In Thailand, however, if all ventilators were distributed in proportion to provincial population sizes, the model predicts around 30% (IQR: 21-41%) fewer avoidable deaths than the number predicted under the observed ventilator distribution.
