We need to start manufacturing ventilating machines in the USA now. Wonder if we can use 3d printing....
I am sure someone is working on it.
But I cannot imagine the manufacturing capabilities can be “spun up” in short order.
This needs to be repeated. We don't need the $250K high tech computerized units that can treat anyone from neonatal to geriatric, with fancy touch screens, wi-fi and remote monitoring. We need 10's of thousands of basic adult low tech ventilators that can be made very quickly.
