NY COVID Treatment is Allocated by a Point System and BIPOC’s are More Likely Than Whites to Get it

From the story: Documentary evidence showing that the State of New York is discriminating against white people in providing access to covid treatments has provoked widespread outrage. So in order to get access to the best covid treatment, you need a score of four or more. How do you score points (Powerline)? 

From Health State: The MASSBP is calculated as follows, on a scale of 0-25: age 65 years and older (2 points), BMI 35 kg/m2 and higher (2), diabetes mellitus (2), chronic kidney disease (3), cardiovascular disease in a patient 55 years and older (2), chronic respiratory disease in a patient 55 years and older (3), hypertension in a patient 55 years and older (1), and immunocompromised status (4)*, pregnancy (4), or BIPOC status (2). It is ethically appropriate to consider race and ethnicity in mAb eligibility decisions when data show elevated risk of poor COVID-19 outcomes for Black, Indigenous and other people of color (BIPOC populations), and that this risk cannot be adequately addressed by determining eligibility based on underlying health conditions (Health State).
