They were reporting what they were told, and didn't that turn out to be true that no "ventilators" were delivered? I believe I read a follow-up article on that.

- adventured 7y agoThe last I saw on it was this: "Elon Musk says he sent ventilators to California hospitals, they say they got something else instead" https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/17/tech/elon-musk-ventilators-california/index.html https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/17/tech/elon-musk-ventilators-ca...

- maallooc 7y agoAm I the stupid one or is his twitter filled with his brain-dead supporters? Do they seriously think hospitals can't buy CPAP machines now? They can but are not doing it because CPAP machines don't have the accuracy, mission criticalness, gas control and patient monitoring needed.
