Abstract
|
|
|
|
The COVID-19 pandemic poses a distributive justice issue throughout the global healthcare system. In this article, I projected the landscape of justice issues related to responses to the COVID-19 pandemic: distribution of health care resources between COVID-19 patients, between COVID-19 patients and non-COVID-19 patients, the priority of vaccine distribution, the distribution of the social distancing burden, and the opportunistic cost of precautionary responses to newly emerging and reemerging infectious diseases. Principles of COVID-19 distributive justice are introduced with a focus on the justification of limit-setting policy. The pandemic invites us to reconsider healthcare distributive justice. We need to broaden our perspective to include communication and consensus into our justice considerations.
