Question: Who will get priority for our limited medical resources and equipment during the pandemic?

Answer passage (source: WHO):
page_title: Q&A: Masks and COVID-19
section_headers: Does WHO recommend the use of non-medical masks in the community?
section_content: Currently there is not enough evidence for or against the use of masks
(medical or other) for healthy individuals in the wider community. WHO
continues to recommend that medical masks be worn by individuals who are sick
or those caring for them. WHO is actively studying the rapidly evolving
science on masks and continuously updates its guidance.
In the interim, to support countries in their decision-making process WHO has
provided advice through a risk-based approach for the use of masks in the
context of COVID-19.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
The question wasn't about wearing masks.
This response is talking about wearing masks and WHO decisions which doesn't seem at all relevant to who should be prioritized to receive medical equipment. This one misses

page_title: Q&A: Ethics and COVID-19: resource allocation and priority setting
section_headers: Are the ethical considerations the same for all medical countermeasures, including therapeutics, vaccines and personal protective equipment (PPE)?
section_content: Generally, the considerations may be different. The allocation of different
resources may find ethical justifications in different principles or values.
For instance, once a novel vaccine is found to be safe and effective, to
prioritize those at highest risk, as well as populations like health care
workers who may be more likely to serve as vectors for transmission, is
justified.
Within those subgroups, some suggest that a lottery-based (i.e., random)
allocation may be justified, given that resources will be limited and we can
assume nearly equal benefits will be derived from any recipient within that
group. This is not the case, however, for other resources such as ventilators,
where some individuals may derive significantly more benefit than others.  

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
It answers the question and mentions many different points of view.
This response seems to be talking about who will be prioritized for the vaccine when it comes out but the question is asking about medical resources and equipment so I'm not sure it's talking about the same thing

page_title: Q&A: Ethics and COVID-19: resource allocation and priority setting
section_headers: What is the basis for deciding who should have priority access to scarce resources?
section_content: The ethical basis for deciding which individuals or groups might be
prioritized, including the principles to be applied, are presented in the
below table:
Ethical considerations when deciding who to prioritize
Principle|  Description|  Practice implication
---|---|---
Equality|
Each person’s interest should count equally unless there are good reasons that
justify the differential prioritization of resources.
Irrelevant characteristics of individuals, such as race, ethnicity, creed,
ability or gender, should not serve arbitrarily as the basis for the
differential allocation of resources.
This principle can be used to justify the allocation of resources by a lottery
– that is, randomly by chance – or by a system of first come, first served.
|
May be most appropriate to guide the allocation of scarce resources among
individuals or populations who can be expected to derive the same benefit from
the resource, for example, vaccines among high-risk populations, or
ventilators among those with similar clinical indicators for benefit.  
Best outcomes (utility)|
This principle can be used to justify the allocation of resources according to
their capacity to do the most good or minimize the most harm, for example,
using available resources to save the most lives possible.
|
May be most appropriate to guide the allocation of scarce resources that
confer substantially different benefits to different individuals, for example,
ventilators to those expected to derive the most benefit.  
Prioritize the worst off|
This principle can be used to justify the allocation of resources to those in
greatest medical need or those most at risk.
|
May be most appropriate to guide the allocation of resources that are designed
or intended to protect those at risk, for example, PPE for health care
workers, vaccines for those most at risk of infection and severe illness, or
those most in need, as in the case of provision of drugs in short supply to
those needing them most urgently.  
Prioritize those tasked with helping others
|
This principle can be used to justify the allocation of resources to those who
have certain skills or talents that can save many other people, or because
something is owed to them on account of their participation in helping others.
|
May be most appropriate to guide the allocation of resources to health care
workers, first responders, etc.  
Allocation principles may be relevant or justified at different stages of
resource scarcity (from less scarcity to more scarcity). For example, where
little scarcity exists, the allocation of resources such as ventilators may be
most justified by the principle of first come, first served (which promotes
the value of equality). When those resources become increasingly scarce, their
allocation may be justified according to a principle that prioritizes those
most in need. With even greater scarcity, a principle that aims to maximize
benefit from the resource may be most justified. At each stage, allocation
should aim to promote equality – that is, first come, first served, or random
allocation, when no relevant factors distinguish individuals within a
particular scheme of allocation (for example, among those with similar needs,
or among those who can be expected to benefit similarly from the resources, or
among those that are at similar levels of risk).
In addition, multiple principles may be combined within an allocation scheme.
For example, an allocation scheme for PPE might find its justification in a
principle prioritizing those most at risk as well as a principle prioritizing
those tasked with helping others, which would support priority allocation of
PPE to health care workers.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
The answer is too long. The answer is a little relevant, but it doesn't mention the pandemic.
This response does a great job delving into the moral and ethical considerations when doling out medical supplies. This is probably all the information the asker could have wanted on the subject
