Resident physician in NYC, not yet called as backup on the front lines. From comfort of home at this point refreshing my knowledge of ventilator settings. Also in spare moments have been considering similarities and differences between operating scheduling algorithms like multilevel feedback queues etc and heuristics used in crisis management, especially when there are both technical tasks like patient emergencies and managerial tasks like organizing staff and equipment going on at once. In a similar vein, comparing which process loads cause failures of scheduling algorithms, and which set of process loads would cause failure in various processing units of the hospital, some of which may be more obvious than others.
