I've read about these psychopathic/sociopathic miscreants in the news lately, and I find it both sad, and amusing.https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2020/03/26/coughing-grocery-store-coronavirus/View attachment 4514223
The past few weeks have been tough for Gerrity’s Supermarket, a small family-owned chain in northeastern Pennsylvania. Like grocers nationwide, it has been deluged with orders and has struggled to keep basics such as chicken breasts and toilet paper on the shelves. Employees have been working overtime, pausing only for five-second breaks to wipe everything down with disinfectant wipes.
Then, on Wednesday afternoon, a woman came in and deliberately coughed all over the produce section, meat case and bakery department, co-owner Joe Fasula said. The store had to throw away more than $35,000 worth of food.
“Today was a very challenging day,” Fasula wrote in a message to shoppers on Facebook. “While there is little doubt this woman was doing it as a very twisted prank, we will not take any chances with the health and well-being of our customers."
The article goes on to say she is a known problem and the police have her undergoing a mental health check.

Trump Campaign Threatens Legal Action Of Coronavirus Ad | Morning Joe | MSNBC
Umm,James Dyson designed a new ventilator in 10 days. He’s making 15,000 for the coronavirus pandemic fight .... 10 days !

Dyson has received an order from the UK government for 10,000 ventilators to support efforts by the country’s National Health Service to treat coronaviruspatients. James Dyson is a British inventor and industrial designer .
James Dyson, the company’s billionaire founder, confirmed the order in a letter to employees shared with CNN on Wednesday.
Note : This is the kind of effort and brainstorming that companies should look into , instead of waiting for miracles.
I praise the ingenuity in this time of crisis ..... and hopefully other companies will look into similar offerings.
“A ventilator supports a patient who is no longer able to maintain their own airways, but sadly there is currently a significant shortage, both in the UK and other countries around the world,” Dyson wrote.
Dyson said the company had designed and built an entirely new ventilator, called the “CoVent,” since he received a call 10 days ago from UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson. A remarkable feat on it own.
“This new device can be manufactured quickly, efficiently and at volume,” Dyson added, saying that the new ventilator has been designed to “address the specific needs” of coronavirus patients.
A spokesperson for the company, which is best known for its vacuum cleaners and hand dryers, said the ventilators would be ready by early April. Dyson, who has wealth worth $10 billion according to Bloomberg, wrote in his letter that he would also donate 5,000 units to the international effort to tackle the pandemic.
“The core challenge was how to design and deliver a new, sophisticated medical product in volume and in an extremely short space of time,” he added. “The race is now on to get it into production.”
In the United States, Ford has announced that it’s working with 3M and GE Healthcare to produce medical equipment including ventilators and protective gear. GM and Tesla have also pledged to make ventilators.
But disruption is so hot right now.Umm,
Boris says it's great. So, let's hook up my Mom to it.
Yeah, I'm having difficulty with the idea of waiving testing and skimping verifying quality control in manufacturing.
First, do no harm.
Yeah, disruption is just what we need in ICU right now.But disruption is so hot right now.
trump is the Big Lie, big, fat and ignorant lie.
I don't know why he had to reinvent the wheel here, a proven design would be best, the government has the power to allow them to make anything they want. The time frames mentioned in the article seem completely unrealistic too, we will see soon enough, april is not far away and an untried design is about to be put to the test in a big way. Hopefully experts looked this thing over or will in the coming days, we will hear a lot more from across the pond. A lot of critical steps have been jumped over here, a proven design would be best IMHO.Yeah, disruption is just what we need in ICU right now.
Maybe Dyson's team designed it with their current mass manufacturing capability in mind so that they could produce large numbers quickly from existing resources. That must be the reason for the design of the Dyson McVentilator. I hope the fucking thing works, better than the alternative, certain death. They will need to modify production on the fly as the inevitable problems and shortcomings become apparent with use.Umm,

There are reasons why major manufacturers of this equipment say they can't make more than what they've promised. Now is not the time to ignore harsh lessons learned in the past.I don't know why he had to reinvent the wheel here, a proven design would be best, the government has the power to allow them to make anything they want.

If you listen carefully you can hear cough ... just open an elevator shaft snd toss in.This is how the Chinese handle they're Stay at Home rules
Why not? No one else is doing anything. I heard an engineer tell us all the reasons why we can't turn car manufacturer's into ventilator manufacturing.I don't know why he had to reinvent the wheel here, a proven design would be best, the government has the power to allow them to make anything they want.

Respect knowledge and experience, they are the professionals when it comes to this, however there is vehement disagreement among them over this particular issue. Time and future studies will tell who was on the right side of history on the issue of mass produced ventilators, the pessimists or the optimists.Why not? No one else is doing anything.

Glass half full, men.
