Are you trying to say that they can’t make a simple ventilator anyone can operate with minimal training? How many years did they have to train the Italians who are using ventilators fashioned from diving masks?
Why don’t you tell me?
A pneumonic patient is not a Matrix pod person, that’s Hollywood.
So Italians made SCUBA ventilators, great! It’s a great story!
I hope that Ford and GM make thousands of ventilators too.
Numbers of machines doesn’t solve the human element.
In Italy, they went from one respiratory therapist per ventilator up to 4 per ventilator, as staff got infected and sick and lost to the fight.
And subsequently, the number of dead Italians increased.
So yes, maybe we can train “mechanics” in one day to run brand new mass-produced Ford/GM/Tesla ventilators.
At what loss in quality/death rate?
My only point is that brand new ventilators DO NOT run themselves.
Respiratory therapists are not minted overnight.
And if you put “one week wonders” in charge of brand new mass-produced ventilators, don’t expect optimal results.
It’s easier and faster to make a machine than a trained respiratory therapist.
That’s all I’m trying to say.
