Room to Breathe: The Impact of Oxygen Rationing on Health Outcomes in SARS-CoV2

As the primary surge of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) wanes in many countries, it is important to reconsider best practice. More cases, probably the majority of cases, are yet to come. Hopefully, during this next phase, we will have more time, more resources, and more experience from which to...
