The average number of new ventilators required to cope with the demand and its cumulative value under two strategies (sharing and no sharing strategies) are shown in Figs. 5 and 6 , respectively. As seen in Fig. 5, when resource sharing is not done, a new supply of ventilators is needed earlier than when ventilators are shared.

The average number of new ventilators required to cope with the demand and its cumulative value under two strategies (sharing and no sharing strategies) are shown in Figs. 5 and 6 , respectively. More importantly, we can see in Fig. 6 that the no sharing strategy requires significantly higher number of additional ventilators to cope with the demand.
