With the urgent need for air ventilators for hospitals and lack of them why not design and build a bare bones units in quantities? Can this be done for such an emergency that we are in? Take out all the bells and whistles and just build what's only necessary. I have to believe if you were dying and had a choice of something or nothing I would be grateful for anything. With our manufacturing company's and engineers I have to believe they could be in production quickly. Once we get caught up with supplies of the better units you could scrap or store the other units.

Looks like Dyson is on it..... in the UK. https://wgntv.com/news/coronavirus/j...andemic-fight/
