Vacuum cleaner manufacturer designs a hospital ventilator in 10 days and plans to begin mass production in 2 weeks
https://www.cnet.com/news/dyson-invente ... port-says/
The engineers at Dyson have designed a hospital ventilator and dubbed it the "Covent". The Britts have put in an order for 10k units. This is the type of innovation and hard work that will save mankind. Socialism and mass payments to hunker down and be lazy may slow the spread and give us a moment to come up with a strategy, but it's not a long term plan. Kudos to Dyson!
I fully expect there to be design flaws that will be discovered in the field and fixed. It's not easy changing fields, but it is sorely needed and welcome.

I heard Dyson was on the case and they sure came up with something quickly so well done. There will be hiccups but they should be sorted out quickly in the field. Kudos.

Here's some more innovation. Good to see.
https://www.foxcarolina.com/news/prisma ... 8214a.htmlAn ER physician at Prisma Health named Sarah Farris invented the device, which officials said allows one ventilator to serve up to four patients at one time. Farris worked with her husband, who is a software engineer named Ryan Farris, and a Prisma Health pulmonologist, named Antine Stenbit, to develop the device, called Vesper.

Its rather funny but only yesterday I thought to myself could you feed two pipes out of a ventilator to service two patients.Black Orchid wrote: ↑Fri Mar 27, 2020 6:05 pmHere's some more innovation. Good to see.

At the time the Chinese sent those supplies back they 100% knew Australia was next. I don't give a flying fuck whether it's legal, it's immoral China created this then scoured the earth for medical supplies.
And calling someone sinophobic for speaking out against the Chinese GOVERNMENT, the same one who executes political protesters and harvests their organs wins Brian the grand order of the austistic fuckwit.

The virus has an incubation period of 10-14 days what happens in the next month after that usually determines if they recover or die.
If they decline to the point of being intubated and put on a ventilator the outcome is usually death, the ventilator might delay the end result by a week or 2.
This not enough ventilators is nonsense even if we had enough it wouldn't make any difference.
A Chinese friend showed me a video of a line outside a hospital in Wuhan, I asked why they were lining up he said they were going in for voluntary cremation.
With closed cases in the US we have 2229 deaths with 3238 recovered which means about 40% of closed cases results in death.
The fate of the other 118,000 victims with open cases remains unknown, so far with 40% death rate with closed cases it doesn't look good for them.

I hope they work.
Well done.
