In this case, a prototype (which is probably worse than existing PAPRs [powered air-purifying respirators]) is demonstrated. It certainly hasn't been manufactured and the Formula 1 team involvement looks to be just of the design of a few components for 3D printing [1].

- redis_mlc 7y agoI'm completely ashamed by the level of b.s. and failure exhibited by Western companies during the corona crisis. We'd be better off if they just admitted the failure so we can move on to the next step, rather than be distracted by utter b.s. The reality is even if some science-project ventilator was made, no hospital would approve its use. But we knew that in advance, before the b.s. even started. And we've known since Jan. that ventilators kill their patiences 66% to 90% or more often.
