Dyson designs ventilator in 10 days, making 15,000 amid pandemic
James Dyson, the company’s billionaire founder, confirmed the order in a letter to employees shared with CNN on Wednesday...
...Dyson said the company had designed and built an entirely new ventilator, called the “CoVent,” since he received a call 10 days ago from UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
“This new device can be manufactured quickly, efficiently and at volume,” Dyson added, saying that the new ventilator has been designed to “address the specific needs” of coronavirus patients.
Up yours, China

A small group of protesters in Mexico blocked the southbound lanes at a border crossing between the twin border cities of Ambos Nogales on Wednesday, with demonstrators calling on the Mexican government to institute stronger COVID-19 screenings for people coming from the U.S.
Newsweek:
The question is, “How many patients once intubated are extubated?” From what it sounds like once they are that sick they don’t come back. If that’s the case we don’t need ventilators at all. It’s a terrible thing to contemplate but in a melt down, if it fails every time why expose the staff. You simply have to start thinking about the staff.
