I think that since building ventilators is very difficult and beyond the capability of the diy and foss communities and has a fairly low survival rate anyway, I think that we should focus on other ways in which we could help. One way to help would be to aid physical containment. The first thing that comes to mind are online tools for communication, learning and doing basic daily life things. I think that there is still room for improvement. The next thing comes to my mind is that people need to go out to buy food, medicine, etc. They also need to drink something and in some places water needs to be sanitized. Maybe DIY sanitizers are an option? Food and other supplies might be bought online, but companies doing online sale and food delivery seem to have issues handling the load. I think that the biggest issue is finding drivers and delivery man to bring groceries do people's doors. Surely, self driving cars and trucks and robots taking packages and climbing staircase or using the elevator aren't an option, but I have other ideas. People could order stuff through internet from their local shops and supermarkets and then pick them packaged in boxes from parking spaces or a drive through with store employees putting boxes in people's trunks or even a system where people go to a door with a belt, scan a QR code from an app, see the door open and their package arriving on that belt. I remember that when the epidemic was starting, journalists reported that people rushed to shops and all the pictures of people with their carts filled with toiled paper standing very close to each other in a very long queue. To me it seemed like the best way of getting infecded. I have many other ideas for 'improvements' and notice other 'mayor problems', but this comment is already way too long... I hope that this isn't off topic in the ventilator thread.
