What about in healthcare? The Pandemic (COVID) highlight issues with a critical shortage in trained personnel, equipment, and supplies. The timespan can be considered catastrophic if the focus is on those that died because they could not get the resources they needed. Since COVID it seems that many health departments have developed plans for critical shortages and how to classify people’s conditions and ration care.
Good idea, thanks. This is a bit different from what I was thinking of because I wouldn’t call those things “resources,” by which I meant more like the type of “natural resources” that we are told we need to conserve. They are more products/services. The question of shortages in those things is also interesting but is a different economic question I think.
