The UK health minister was on the news just the other day begging manufacturers for more ventilators. They'll get over it quicker, but at what cost?

> We have around 5,000 ventilators and we think we need many times more than that. We are saying that if you produce a ventilator then we will buy it. No number is too high.

that bit was a really disappointing piece from the UK Gov. Did they really not realise until just now that they might need more ventilators.

They've had at least a month of knowing this was coming...
