Who should MDs let die in a pandemic?

I'm curious about this. If you are bothering to make a list to prioritize medical resources, why not go all the way? Why not do every different category of human and make a pecking order from the top to the bottom? We know there is a pecking order at both ends. The US President officially gets the best care. At the other extreme, they're apparently gonna pull the plug on the very injured and elderly.

What about the 95% in the middle? Do we just duke it out for the respirators?
