    Dan McLaughlin Retweeted The Associated Press

    The ventilator shortage was a legitimate fear at the time, but in retrospect, it will turn out to be a non-issue in how all of this played out in the U.S.https://twitter.com/AP/status/1259489117047599104 …

    Dan McLaughlin added,

    The Associated PressVerified account @AP
    President Trump pledged in March to ensure production of 100,000 additional ventilators in 100 days. But many doctors are now using the machines only as a last resort for coronavirus patients, and the U.S. could soon be awash in surplus ventilators. http://apne.ws/wmrzhLD

        Perhaps the slight upside of many companies shifting to build ventilators instead of shutting down completely.

        This will turn out valuable as the extra ventilators are being sent by USAID to countries that could use the ventilators - including Ecuador, El Salvador, Honduras, South Africa, and Indonesia.

        Having a surplus of ventilators is a good thing. Healthcare systems ought to have such latency. The prognosis of this particular diseases was made worse with easy invasive ventilatory management. The next pandemic may be different.

        I suspect many more ventilators will be necessary given the lack of concern by many about spreading the disease. This isn't over by a long shot.

        I’ve read that it turns out CPAP is better and vents are killing people. But this is what happens when people scream DO SOMETHING - and people DO IT - ANYTHING - to shut them up.

        Yup. Inadequate preparation often triggers a bullwhip correction in the supply chain. You’d think a ‘businessman’ president would have been aware of such basic business practice.

        Hopefully, next time governors will have a better read on their state's inventory of ventilators. They were all over the place. New York Gov. Cuomo's yelling that he'd need 30K more ventilators while being unaware of his own state's quantities was a perfect example.

        I don’t think it was a legitimate fear even at the time. Every medical professional and informed observers knew what ventilator survival rates looked likehttps://twitter.com/ReinceNiebuhr/status/1245961208764784640 …

        @elonmusk is touching on something lost amid ventilator panic: delicate to say, but we have a shortage of Vs in large part bc many are being used by patients who don't have good outcomes ahead. rationing is politically fraught, but its not going to lead to mass increase in deaths https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1245806166938021890 …
