Concept
The matter of guaranteeing equity during the outbreak is relevant both on a local and on a global level. For what regards the triage of patients to admit in the ICU and for what regards a fair vaccine distribution – both on a local and on a global level – it seems necessary to reason on which kind of justice and equity we would to apply and which reflections we could do about them.
