Title: A common metric to make coronavirus decisions

A Mcilvaine study for one of the largest healthcare companies on single use vs reusable surgical gowns is equally applicable to masks. The study includes a common metric to measure all harm and good and to also consider the future value discount and tribal values. Every alternative can be measured in Quality Enhanced Life Days. This includes the discomfort of wearing a mask vs the benefits. It includes the possible selection of Far UV to reduce infection now even if it increases the chance of skin cancer many years into the future. It provides a clear method for determining who gets the ventilator and who does not. The tribal value consideration takes into account, such questions as; Should 3M be required to ship masks they produce in other countries back to the U.S.? It provides a method of determining when and if the risks of resuming the normal work schedule are justified. It is simple and straightforward because it is simply the aggregation of the wishes of the majority.
