Let’s throw masks and other PPE onto your list as well.
- jacquesm 7y agoYes, absolutely. In NL one quarter of the total confirmed infections is hospital employees and other healthcare workers!
- mjevans 7y agoThose are closer to nanomachine fabrication tasks, but different. Lots of specialized, uncommon, high-precision machines: everything is a one off, there is no bulk, and it's all expensive and fiddly. Ironically the way to make this stuff cheaper would be a three-fold attack. * Make MORE things that use the same parts, so that making the raw materials is commodity. * Reduce waste in use (if sterilizing the filters for reuse / etc is possible, etc). Part 3: Look for alternatives that are feasible. A hot-zone (book) style line supplied breathing air positive pressure suit that can be scrubbed clean on the outside, OR a similar glove-box (negative draw?, scrubbed inside?) style phone-booth like I think I saw on TV from South Korea (IIRC) would be much better replacements.
