So how exactly does a factory that makes cars transition to making ventilators?

When I think of a "small business", I'm thinking they are local shops with maybe 20 people. Bars, restaurants, auto shops, air con, drywall hangers etc with less than 20 employees.

I'm assuming it's mostly about having the assembly line and labor in place. I can't imagine you could stand it up instantly, but I don't really have a feel for how universal some of the machinery is. If they're using a lot of generic machines and just printing out new molds or whatever, it's possible they could get up and running in a week or two.

Doctors cant run them, they are too busy. There is a reason Respiratory Therapists run them and not nurses. You need a lot of specific training to not damage peoples lungs while on the vent. |

My DIL is an ER Nurse and is freaking out over the lack of PPE. 3 kids at home ages 5 and under with a 5 month old baby. She's just resigned herself to the fact that it's not if but when she gets infected.

It's kind of funny scrolling through multiple pages of this thread day after day. It's pretty obvious after a couple of weeks of this who the people are that focus on the worst-case scenario (after I while, I just scroll on by because it's always some random niche story that isn't necessarily applicable to the world) and the people who focus on the best-case scenario (who largely don't understand what they're talking about).
