Great idea. Simultaneous to these types of home-brew projects...we also need someone (President? eCelebs? etc) to promote and organize fund raising efforts to simply buy and distribute cheap but effective ventilators.
Imagine a WWII style "war bonds" effort, but instead to build and distribute say 5M ventilators over the next 6 weeks.
In addition to this, we must re-purpose closed schools (gyms, cafeterias, etc) into make-shift CoVid19 triage centers where affected patients can be put on cots with saline drip, drugs, and ventilation. This is doable, but we need to do it.
- squarefoot 7y ago"we also need someone (President? eCelebs? etc) to promote and organize fund raising" Fund raising won't help if too many people get infected. What you need right now is for those in charge to stop playing Rambo and pretend they have it in control (they don't) then grow up, tell people to stop behaving like there is nothing going on. Schools, stadiums, all non vital businesses should close and people should stay home. This virus propagates at very high speed; as for now there is no cure, and I'm sorry for believers but prayers won't work (ironically, "healing" pools at Lourdes are already closed since days). This is serious, folks. We can only slow infections to a level in which people recover at faster pace than those who get infected, otherwise ICU numbers won't be enough and a lot more people will die.
- sneak 7y agoPlan for the big peak, hope for the small one. There is no indication that leadership in the US is going to suddenly start behaving sensibly.
