listening to health lady thereif we,re approaching a peakif we,re expecting lockdown,social distancing to work if there,s still capacity in the health service ,icu beds etcwhy are we screaming out getting every tom,dick and harry building 20/30,000 more ventilators. when we,re not at full capacity of the 8,000 we,ve got and are forecast to see the benefts of social distancing,/lockdown in next 2 weeksdoesn't add up does it,means we,ll have to see a 700 % increase in need for ventilator,s in next 7/10 days and none of the 20/30,000 requested will be ready for 3/4 weeks according to reports
As the world demand for ventilators is huge, it's not possible to have too many as we can potentially supply other nations.
