Get the blocklist mug.The public decision making body that that is unofficial and largely invisible that decides strategies that spread or stop the spread of C-19 and specially who gets treated for C-19 and who does not. The C-19 Death Panels can be comprised of different types of people in all levels of gov and private sector but not limited to public heath or medical experts. In some cases it is politicians and some cases business owners or religious leaders.
C-19 Death Panel decisions range from Politicians and Public Health Agencies deciding on strategies to prevent the spread of C-19, Public Health Agencies and Medical Administrators planning (or lack there of) to assure medical people do (or don't) have proper PPE, medical equipment, hospital capacity to heal patients or to protect even to protect patients with our without it from C-19. And there are some on the panels that make individual decisions on which medical people get adequate PPE (to protect them and/or patients), who gets tests and tested, and who gets treated for C-19, especially when there is limited capacity for prevention or care.
Criteria used by the C-19 Death Panels can be well thought out and based on data and analysis by public heath and medical professions or made on the fly by politicians or their advisers that are trained in financial and economics and whatever else they think is relevant.

The greatest innovation of the C-19 Death Panel is that it not only makes decisions on who gets treatment like other medical death panels but it is largely responsible for who and how a person gets exposed to the disease that can kill the future patient. In a lot of cases there is more than one C-19 Death Panel acting, often with completely different logic and counter strategies. Some prioritizing the economy over your grand parents and some your grand parents over the economy.
It should be noted that the C-19 Death Panels can develop strategies that create enough people with the C-19 illness to overwhelm not only everyone's medical care and medical insurance rates.
