| donathos said: I've been hearing about the problem of not having enough ventilators for a while, now. That... seems like a thing to address? I mean, I don't know the business of producing ventilators. Perhaps they are exclusively handcrafted by Nepalese monks from adolescent unicorn's horns. Perhaps. But in the lead-up to the crushing spikes we're all anticipating (especially since folks are still crowding open restaurants, beaches, bars, theme parks, etc.), perhaps we can put in an order or two. Seems to me that since we've had this whole "industrial revolution" thing, we know a thing or two about mass production. So why not get to producing? (And I'm certain it's not that easy, for any number of reasons, but at the same time: we turned car factories into tank factories, when we needed to.) |
Our prime minster, just went on tv to talk about new meassures taken, and rules ect.
At one point, they mentioned that we originally had like 780 ventilators (of the advanced type) and they just got like 200 more (resently), and we're part of a joint project in europe to buy and assemble more ventilators (distrubuted amoung european countries), so this number is likely to rise in the near future.
So I expect, every other country in the world is probably also trying to get their hands on them these days.
Out of 977 infected in denmark (now), we apparently have 80 or so, that are hospitalised.
16 are under intensive care.
2 people require these advanced ventilators.
so its simple math.
980+ ventilators, and 2 needed by CoVid-19 patients.
As long as the spread rate doesnt drastically increase, apparently it should be fine here (in denmark).
*knock on wood*
