Why haven’t management of this company not gone into mass ramp up on their own? If anyone can see the need it would have to be them.

- frenchy 7y agoIf I'd hazard a guess, it might be because someone still has to operate the ventilator, and hospitals are expecting a drop in healthcare workers (since you don't want a sick person treating patients).
- m4rtink 7y agoA couple things being done to help reduce pressure on medical personel here in Czech Republic: - elective surgeries being canceled, hospitals cleared as much as possible - medical students were ordered to stay in their residence area and are taking disaster medicine courses - teaching students are volunteering to take care of children of medical personel (as all schools are closed, someone needs to take care of childrens & students are free to do so)

- 0xffff2 7y agoNPR did an interview with the owner of one of the last companies to make surgical masks in the US. He said that during the last panic they ramped up production and just as the new machines started coming online demand evaporated. It very nearly destroyed his company. Ramping up production is not an instantaneous thing and doing it without a clear customer for the increased product is an incredible business risk.
