The phrase "crisis standard of care" is now being heard some.  It sounds like a fancy way of saying triage.

A doctor on TV this morning may have been a little overly dramatic when he said you might hear "We can't help you.  Go home to die."

Since March I have had to do a SOFA (Sequential Organ Failure Assessment ment) score plus a comorbidity score on all ICU admissions. This is what the hospital that I admit to is going to use to determine who gets a ventilator and who doesn’t in case of scarcity.  Something from Arizona was leaked that was very similar and it has the same purpose. I’d assume everybody is doing it or should be.
