  It's amazing what people are coming up in the last weeks to make things work, even though they don't follow the standards, the regulations, etc. etc. The human brain under a certain amount of stress/motivation can come up with a sh load of ideas and solutions.

    I think a lot of it is finally feeling safe to experiment. I'm sure ideas like this were always around but people knew they'd be in prison if they tried it. The west gone wild Pioneering spirit A golden age for cowboys Warstories for grandchildren

    These hacks have been around for years - they're standard practice in mass casualty incidents (e.g. a lot of the research on ventilator-sharing was done after the Vegas shooting) where sudden surges of requirements outpace local supply. We're just in a situation where well-known and -studied emergency procedures are becoming standard practice.
