  > Can they also manufacturer anesthesiologists and acute care nurses? There's a lot of smart and talented people currently sitting home, doing nothing right now. It may not be medical school but four weeks on Khan Academy can get you up to speed on routine tasks. Then you work under the supervision of a real medical practitioner handles corner cases. This is how medics are trained in wartime. > Medical beds? Hospitals? Tons of hotels are sitting empty. Their beds could easily be retrofitted into field hospitals. > Effective PPE Apparel companies. H&M and other fast fashion outlets can boot a new design pattern in as little as six days. > What about safe, medical grade oxygen? Tons of Scuba shops have gas compressor capacity, which is obviously safe for human consumption. Most of those shops are sitting empty, because of the current collapse in tourism.

    Even if those were viable solutions —I have reservations— we're still just talking about this. Medical staff are being exposed today due to lack of PPE. Cases are still rocketing. If we want to avoid the situation where we can only make our parents and grandparents comfortable in death, leadership needs to emerge and commandeer the resources available to our countries. Waiting for volunteers isn't enough.
