Everyone talking about #makeventilators is missing the point.
Yes, we're going to run out. No, it won't be pretty. But we don't have labor capacity to care for that many more than we can ventilate.
We need O2 concentrators so that 2/3 of hospital cases can switch to home care.

Keep in mind that a lot of patients switch very quickly from needing oxygen to needing full ventilation, and emergency intubation is very dangerous for HCPs due to aerosolization of the virus. Better IMO to have patients at a (even makeshift) hospital for oxygen therapy.
