Dyson designs new ventilator in 10 days

[Mel Fulks]

Not all corporate "greed". Some of the states have leaders who can't find their ventilators, NOT their personal ones .....
just the ones the little people might need. Didn't mean to frighten you !

[Jim Becker]

What irks me about the company in the article is that they were able to get out of a contract. Any one of use would be hard pressed to accomplish that in our own worlds. But as always...Wall Street and short term financials win over morality.

Yeah we should hold up use and run ten years of studies to see if any defects arise? The people who are dying because they can't breathe don't care. Things have gotten so desperate, the CDC has issued guidelines for what can be used when ventilators are not available. The C-pap is on the list for a last resort.

Just use a compressed air hose. What could possibly go wrong? You go first.

There's an article online at CNN Business about Mercedes F1 working to repurpose CPAP machines to assist with non-critical Covid-19 patients who need mild assistance with breathing.

Thornhill Medical’s MOVES SLC unit is a compact portable, self-contained device that provides all of the crucial functions available in a modern intensive care unit (ICU), according to the firm. It integrates the functions of a ventilator that generates its own oxygen from the air, a full suite of critical care monitors, and suction — all able to run on battery power.

There are generally two kinds of ventilators....simpler designs like the one that Dyson came up with to "assist" with breathing by supplying air passively at low pressure and the more complicated computerized units that are designed for serious life support. A large percentage of the Covid-19 patients who are hospitalized supposedly can benefit from the simpler designs which are faster and easier to product.

I am sorry Jim, but this sentence absolutely not correct. I am telling this as a professional, who is taking care of COVID 19 patients and other patients too.

I will accept and acknowledge I was incorrect. I was coming down with the damn thing at about the same time...

[Eduard Nemirovsky]

Jim, sorry to hear that. I wish you a full recovery.

So sorry to hear that Jim. Hang in there and be one of the many that recovers quickly.
