We need wartime manufacturing of ventilators, masks, gloves
We need more medical staff
CEOs must offer & @realDonaldTrump @VP
@GavinNewsom
@NYGovCuomo must demand immediate factory conversions
We are at war with the virus & need to start acting like it
THAT MEANS WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH
THAT MEANS IT'S TIME FOR WARTIME PRODUCTION
NOW
UK PM @BorisJohnson calls for "National Effort for Ventilator"
"If you produce ventilators please call the BEIS Business Support helpline on 0300 456 3565."
US must follow UK!!

CDC says 2M - 21M Americans could be hospitalized
We may need 500k to 1M ventilators
We thus may need 50x-100x more ventilators than we currently have
Flood the world with these products
If we make too many, we can share with others
If we make too few, PEOPLE WILL DIE
