London’s Smiths Group, a major ventilator manufacturer, is ramping up its own production to make an additional 30,000 over the coming months.  The company is helping other companies across the globe so that other nations may ramp up ventilator manufacturing.  

 

How about in the US?  A Washington state ventilator manufacturer VENTEC will partner with GM to streamline its supply chain and multiply its manufacturing capabilities from 150/month to 10s of thousands/month..

 

Ford has also indicated a willingness to help.  They will make not only ventilators but face masks with tiny fans to generate positive pressures within the mask to keep the virus out of the respiratory tract and eyes.
