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.

To supply 100٪ oxygen at atmospheric pressure is something steel mills have very high capacity for. Hook enough people up to one pipe and evaporate liquid O2 in it.

Don't try to reinvent the wheel. This has already been optimized for home delivery, look up "oxygen concentrator". For mass delivery, I think the current strategy is delivering LOX tanks to a hospital (rather than the hospital distilling).
