The Curious Case of Open-Source Ventilators
Recently, the entire planet has been taken over by COVID-19 pandemic. As I started writing this article, the total death count due to this virus was 113, 296.
This pandemic has created a shortage of ventilators which is a crucial mechanism to treat a COVID-19 patient who are unable to breath on their own. Last year, the total number of ventilators needed to meet the worldwide (or I’d say planet-wide) demand was 77, 000. Now, additional 33,000 ventilators are needed in the New York alone. The biomedical manufacturers have boosted their production by 30%-50% but cannot alone meet a 1000% increase in demand.
