Thanks for this. If there are 10's of thousands of these in cold storage, this will take the edge off. Wont solve the shortage but if they can bring them on line quickly it will buy time for others to make new ones. This is a great strategy, I hope it pays off.
Admirable effort, but the article doesn't explain (I couldn't find it) where the old ventilators are going to come from. Seems to me finding those is going to be the limiting factor in all this.Bart wrote: ↑Wed Mar 25, 2020 7:27 amThanks for this.

Interesting information follows:

US deaths in the last 24 hours is 32% greater than the deaths for the previous 24 hours
US new cases in the last 24 hours is 24% greater than the new cases in the previous 24 hours
Two new state have joined the club, recording their first death in the past 24 hours
--> Arkansas
--> Hawaii
Notes:
-- National death rate growth is once again outstripping the infection rate growth.
-- False flag – Washington State is not making a turn, infections and deaths have continued their rise overnight.
-- There was a question at the end of last week as to how real the outbreak in Vermont is. It is real, it now has the second highest death rate in the country, exceeding New York. We don’t hear much about it.
-- New England has clearly got a problem that is starting to show, four states in the region are among the infection and death rate leaders. Massachusetts and Connecticut infections grew 50% overnight.
-- The upper Midwest is all starting to show signs of a significant outbreak as well.
-- Louisiana continues to move in the wrong direction and crying out for help. It appears to be largely ignored by the federal government and the media. Meanwhile, Tennessee, and Mississippi have made the list of most highly infected states.
-- Colorado has now also clearly got a problem moving rapidly in the wrong direction.
Bottom line, things are getting much worse.

why are you still quoting "unchecked" totals to scare people. You think we haven't done anything to check the virus spread. Why the h*ll have I been sitting in my house washing my hands for 10 days.seacoaster wrote: ↑Wed Mar 25, 2020 7:46 am I could post this on Orange Duce, for the President's stupidity.

"Coronavirus is actually far deadlier than the flu or car crashes
In 2018, roughly 36,560 people died in automobile accidents. Another 38,000 died from flu-related causes in the winter ending that same year.
We don’t yet know how many deaths the coronavirus will cause. But a recent study pegged the mortality rate for symptomatic coronavirus cases at 1.4 percent. That may not sound devastating in a vacuum, but it is significant, as that rate means the coronavirus could kill up to 1.1 million Americans if allowed to spread unchecked.
This is why it is important to socially distance. We do not yet have a coronavirus vaccine, meaning the best tool we have to slow the spread of the virus and minimize deaths is to practice social distancing until testing is so common that we know how far the virus has spread.
But Trump’s argument during the Fox News town hall (and elsewhere) was to insist that Americans have already learned the necessary lessons of social distancing and will be careful about practicing it at work. But there’s really no way for a restaurant server to stay at least 6 feet away from customers, nor is it feasible, for example, for people to practice distancing in crowded buses or factories.
Trump, however, doesn’t seem to understand the point of social distancing. During an interview with Fox News that aired after the town hall, he revealed this by telling Hemmer that he hopes to see churches packed on Easter.
Experts say the most direct path to normalcy is not to just hope people manage not to infect each other, but to establish a rigorous testing regime, one that would allow us to understand where it might be safe to relax social distancing and which states and cities might require more restrictive quarantines. But the Trump administration’s coronavirus response continues to be plagued by testing failures that hamper all of our abilities to develop a reliable picture of how far the virus has spread. Asked about those failures during the town hall, Trump changed the topic before ultimately absolving himself of responsibility.
“Nobody ever expected a thing like this,” said Trump, who worked to dismantle America’s pandemic preparedness during his first three years in office. “Nobody would say that million and millions of people [would need to be] tested.”
The video embedded int he post (BTW>>How do you do that?) below the Gov indicated they had all these ventilators. He did not say how many they have. Old Salt indicated he had either read or saw a report indicating there were alot of these.jhu72 wrote: ↑Wed Mar 25, 2020 7:48 amAdmirable effort, but the article doesn't explain (I couldn't find it) where the old ventilators are going to come from.

Of course I get it. But to quote 1.1 Millions dead is inappropriate at this point in the crisis.seacoaster wrote: ↑Wed Mar 25, 2020 7:55 am The point is the trend and trajectory. You don't get that, really?

No, you are dead f*cking wrong: it is not inappropriate -- especially while Dear Leader is telling Americans to gather in Churches in a couple of weeks. Frankly, it may be that the rest of us have a moral duty to counteract Trump's venal stupidity.6ftstick wrote: ↑Wed Mar 25, 2020 7:58 amOf course I get it.

This will not solve the problem. This could buy time.
Of course the president who ordered all the shutdowns border closings and Travel bans that have got us to this point is stupidly venal enough to risk it all prematurely and without the facts to support the move.seacoaster wrote: ↑Wed Mar 25, 2020 8:02 amNo, you are dead f*cking wrong: it is not inappropriate -- especially while Dear Leader is telling Americans to gather in Churches in a couple of weeks.
