The panic of where we will get the ventilators from does not have to be the sole focus. Not every patient will need a million dollar ventilator. If someone is self isolated with the disease then they may need a lower technology solution such as a dehumidifier. In that way they can avoid the secondary bacterial infections that are the real killer. They can recover in a room that won't be growing mould because it is damp from their breathing. A humble dehumidifier could put someone on the road to recovery before it gets to the ventilator stage in a northern climate where damp is a problem.
