I feel like this is just going to end up being a website with no usage because no one has spare ventilators. But I really hope they prove me wrong.

First of all, big shout out to the Open Ventilation Registry crew! The registry will be quite useful.

There's an a small global army of biomedical engineers, ICU doctors, programmers etc. working very hard to have rapidly manufactured ventilators designed, approved, and manufactured. I've seen some of the designs and they're elegant, simple, just work. Yeah, they need fine tuning but that's part of the process.

Humans are insanely awesome when they collaborate.

Hang in there humanity.
