As the coronavirus ravages the U.S. health care system, the scarcity of ventilators has been forcing doctors to make life-or-death decisions about who gets to breathe and who does not. Our investigation helps explain the acute shortage of medical devices.

13 years ago, U.S. public health officials came up with a plan to address what they regarded as one of the medical system’s crucial vulnerabilities: a shortage of ventilators nyti.ms/2WYLSfo
Things veered off course when a multibillion-dollar maker of medical devices, Covidien, bought the small California company, Newport Medical Instruments, that had been hired to design the new machines. The project ultimately produced zero ventilators. nyti.ms/2WYLSfo

In the U.S., between late January and early March, large-scale testing of people who might have had the coronavirus did not happen because of technical flaws, regulatory hurdles, business-as-usual bureaucracies and lack of leadership at multiple levels nyti.ms/3bz3fYi
3 agencies in the U.S. responsible for detecting and combating threats like the coronavirus failed to prepare quickly enough. Even as scientists looked at China and sounded alarms, none of the agencies’ directors conveyed the urgency required to spur a no-holds-barred defense.
Dr. Robert Redfield is the director of the CDC and trusted the agency’s veteran scientists to develop a test for the coronavirus. But when test flaws became apparent in mid-February, Dr. Redfield promised a quick fix, though it took weeks to settle on a solution.

No10 confirms that UK is not taking part in EU initiative to bulk buy ventilators and other equipment needed to tackle coronavirus. Asked why, Boris Johnson’s spokesman says: “We are not a member of the EU.”
Downing Street says there are currently 8,000 ventilators in the NHS. 8,000 more have been procured and will be available in “the coming weeks”. Those being proposed by manufacturers need to be tested, but govt is confident of having thousands more ready “in the coming months”.
On antibody tests, No10 says the 3.5 million that have been purchased are from different suppliers. They need to be thoroughly tested to find one (or more) that works properly. Unclear whether money has been handed over or what happens if they prove to be inaccurate.

Anons, you should be extremely proud of yourselves. Stand tall, with your chin held high. THIS is what we have all been waiting years for! Now is the time for our voices to be heard loud and clear. ALL HANDS ON DECK. "We are the news now."
I had to step away for personal reasons, but my heart and spirit were always fighting right alongside you; just in a different way for awhile. Thank you for your messages and comments. I am forever grateful. I love you all! ❤️
We should all be proud of the work we have accomplished so far. We have made huge strides in such a relatively short period of time. We are in this together, and WE are the cure! 🙌🏼

Long Reads Sunday #74.

Ah December! A time for family, celebration, and - of course - reflections to figure out just what the hell happened in the past year. So what's the mood as the EOY content starts to roll in? Grab a nog and let's do this thing - it's long reads time!
2/ One sentiment I’ve seen a number of times recently is something between frustration and benign boredom. @Twobitidiot expressed something like this a week or two ago and this tweet from @BtBust really summed it up
3/ There are plenty of indicators that explain the glum. @TheBlock__ wrote about the more than 70 crypto hedge funds that have shuttered this year theblockcrypto.com/linked/49296/a… while @robustus cites the 46% price dip since the June high.

THREAD on Russia-USA-Ukraine-Donbass:

1. A lot of people are asking “what happens now?”. Zelensky is in power, Trump will most likely win a 2nd term, and the EU elections resulted in a win for EU-skeptics.
2. Among the “pro-Russia” social media camp there seems to be 2 main narratives:

a) After the presidential election the shelling in Donbass increased, so big war can be expected;

b) Poroshenko has gone, so things will exponentially improve.
3. I will start with narrative “a”. The post-election spike in the shelling in Donbass is part of Poroshenko’s parliamentary electoral campaign, which is based on “Russia’s revenge” - a tale he invented to keep his electorate in the pen he built.

Got some exciting stuff happening with Bellingcat over the next few weeks, watch the news for all kinds of interesting things. If you like Bellingcat, then this is going to be the month/year for you. Not so great if you don't like Bellingcat, deal with it.
Hopefully by the end of Spring we'll have the new Bellingcat office in The Hague open and operational, which will be the centre of two new major projects, focused on Yemen and local training in The Netherlands.
With The Netherlands training project we'll be running workshops to train locals from a wide variety of backgrounds, both social and professional, to work on projects that have an impact on their own lives, building a Dutch community of open source investigators.
