Abstract

Dr. Osborne describes the evolution of pandemics, along with notable themes that have emerged, particularly as they relate to COVID-19. Using bioethical principles as a lens, she examines the complex ethical challenges that accompany pandemics, including the allocation of scarce resources and principles of equity in caring for these patients.
