  1. God bless! Keep staying blessed ! May u become the number 1 provider for ventilators in the World 🌍

  2. Of course you give it to a car producer it costs thousands…order from ISRAEL this can be sold for $200 and a thousand can be produced in 2 weeks!

  3. I designed a very cheap and simple ventilator, please take a look at it and leave a comment. After making the first prototype all information will be published freely online.

  4. How could this company not make more seems. They are giving away billions to China by not building up Capacity in a reasonable time.

  5. 1,000 units per month lmao good luck world

  6. We need a million of them, we have less then 200,000 lmao

  7. How normal people suppose to setup a ventilator?

  8. Over 61k people were hospitalized last year for the flu. Less than 1000 have been hospitalized for this virus and most don't need ventilators.

  9. Why not just tap into the surplus of ventilators and masks that Obama left? Oh wait,he didn't leave any surplus. So let's just use this virus as a political tool to finger point and blame.

  10. Trump says he never saw the need for ventilators and masks. That is the role of the gov’t to prepare for potential catastrophes like storms, electrical outages, war and pandemics. He has no excuse and he is caught flat footed. Ignorance is no excuse.

  11. If we stopped putting crap in the air we breathe maybe we would need a lot less bottles and machines for getting crap free air into peoples lungs.

  12. Ventilators will be one of those choke points…excellent

  13. Used to work in medical mfg. There are a least 10,000 different parts that come from around the world to make such a device anywhere from a customer SMD resistor at 0.1% tolerance to custom screws and various ots parts. With companies doing TPS and tight supply chains, how long before some stupid sheriff shuts down a company over CV19 that makes one of these small parts, or some other part where the parts cannot be shipped or people cannot get to work because of it. I give it about 15 days before the first news story hits on secondary supply chain problems because the government is now trying to control the means of production at multiple uncoordinated levels.

  14. Really ridiculous that nobody uses facial masks.
    Using face mask is helpful to protect people from virus. It is important when you talk with others, or in crowds.Β 
    They don't have to be perfect ones. You could make handmade masks at home, too (there are some youtubes, too).

  15. job security for these folks.!

  16. This is where both parties should join together, at least while this is going on

  17. The MONSTER CORONA VIRUS, COULDN'T CARE LESS, IT GOES WHERE IT WANTS, DOES WHAT IT WANTS.πŸ˜¦πŸ˜¦πŸ‘ΉπŸ‘ΉπŸ‘ΉπŸ‘ΉπŸ‘ΉπŸ‘ΊπŸ‘ΊπŸ‘ΊπŸ‘ΉπŸ‘ΉπŸ’€πŸ’€πŸ’€πŸ’€πŸ’€πŸ’€πŸ’€πŸŽ―πŸŽ―πŸŽ―πŸŽ―

  18. Hire some Good old Mexican workers and you’ll get it done. Those workers Look Like they’re falling asleep 😴

  19. One of my last wishes would be to not be put on a ventilator I hope that that would be reserved for someone other than me and I want to die fast when I die I do not want to die on a ventilator and I think there's other people that can be rehabilitated and recovered with a ventilator so I would prefer that someone else be on the ventilator instead of me last wishes hope it happens. πŸ˜‰ I'll be that survivalist guy out in the woods camping living off the land I don't want to be stuck in the Hospital. obviously it wasn't scripted who would have ever allowed him to say that it would have been a choke point.

  20. fakenews no such thing as covid 19

  21. 3/17/20 – try walking
    If you stay in bed all day , the way hospitals want you to .
    You will drown

  22. 22:20 What's going on They only say. we could ,maybe around ,they don't give actual numbers or actual facts no more

  23. U.K. now has car and weapons manufacturers make ventilators. The USA should do the same during this pandemic.

  24. Can my cpap machine count as ventilator?

  25. This report left me breathless!

  26. Never too many Life Saving tools.

  27. Take a shuttered Detroit auto plant and scale up ventilator production to meaningful numbers. Use federal money to quickly tool up. This is war.

  28. Fox news physically attacks you tube truther. https://youtu.be/VZ8j9xvwbUc

Convenient-crash economy, have hate media mass attack him, China gets to sell USA massive supplies at inflated prices & TARIFF FREE! EVERYBODY WINS EXCEPT THOSE WHO LOOSE LOVED ONES! No care 4 dems OR HATE MEDIA! Their hate 4 Trump stronger than saving lives! Trump put China ban 3 weeks after first China death & was slammed by dems/media! Yet under ovomit over 1000 dead & 4500 infected with H1N1 before Ovomit took 1st step declaring Nat'l Emerg. MEDIA BARELY REPORTED ON IT!! We knew Dems were going do something against economy-sad costing lives! DEEP STATE HATE MEDIA/FEAR MONGERING/PUSHING PANIC HOARDING! THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PANIC BUYING, SHORTAGES. NEVER EVEN SAID 3 WORDS DURING H1N1 WHEN OVER 1000 DIED! REMEMBER THAT 2020-NO TO CHINA JOE!

  32. Thank you Bernis for your visionary and compassionate leadership – you are a true warrior!

  33. You can hook up one ventilator to multiple patients. It's fine.

  34. " First Come , First Served Basis " 🎢

  35. It's like the Titanic. Do we have enough lifeboats for everyone on broad?

    Well… If the ship hits an iceberg we will find out.

  36. Thin the herd. Bill Gates, George Soros and Oprah with other elites had a meeting to discuss overpopulation and how to curb the herd lower!!!! Look it up it was about 8 years ago I believe in Newsweek

  37. This is the real killer, the shortage of supplies.

  38. We have plenty of ventilators.
    No American in my lifetime died from not having a ventilator. This is stupid.

  39. Order some from China !

  40. Sierra Leone literally has ONE in the whole country

  41. 2:18 his smirk…somehow I’m scared…
