Cheap Israeli technology may solve world ventilator shortage:

Manshema, a $200-a-piece opensource technology created by an Israeli team, could solve the problem of the shortage of ventilators crucial to assist patients who contract the most serious forms of COVID-19 worldwide.
Around mid-March, a group of Israeli organizations – including the IDF, the Assuta Medical Center in Ashdod and Rafael Advanced Technology – engaged several hundreds of their affiliated experts in what they called a “COVID-19 sprint.” The participants were divided into 16 teams to work on finding solutions to a list of problems related to the pandemic. One of the teams decided to tackle the problem of creating a very simple but effective ventilator.

“Our device does not intubate patients, no tube is inserted in their throat to push the air in, they can still breath on their own but the hard work is done by the machine,”

Since the cost of production of every unit stands at about $200 and the time required at around two/three hours of work, while ventilators available to the market cost from several thousands to several dozen thousand dollars and have become harder and harder to find and purchase.

We have found out that since nobody is involved in the initiative to make money, everyone has been very happy to help us in providing what we needed just for the goal of fighting the virus,

Three Gulf states have reached out to Israel in recent weeks to receive information and assistance in the fight against the novel coronavirus disease known as COVID-19. The three make up half of the countries that are members of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC)

“I have heard leaders in the Gulf say over and over, ‘with our resources and wealth and Israeli innovation, we can create a vaccine and a cure’…They have seen this pandemic as an opportunity for cooperation between themselves and Israel,”

“We offered them any help they need, even if it’s connecting doctors or nurses, or sending teams to them, sharing logistical knowledge,” Hareven said. “Whatever help we can give our neighbors – we will do it happily.”

Looks like Boris is sharpening the knives anyway sinkov...

Hancock's asking Boris to, "give him a break?"

Back benches beckon my son.

No fecking wonder he wants a break BT, he's been doing the job of thousands of NHS and PHE managers all on his own, even me and you with all our multitude of talents would be a bit stretched doing that.

Hancock's Half Hour will be resting very soon sinkov. Boris is thoroughly disenchanted with his Health Secretary. The end.

I think at the moment BT, they're like mountaineers on the North Face of the Eiger, they're all roped together and they have to stay that way, otherwise it'll be one off, all off.

This was followed by Sir Graham Brady stating in parliament that employees had been “too willing” to stay at home (Anger at UK lockdown easing plans ‘that could put workers at risk’, 4 May).

Baldrick always had a cunning plan,perhaps Boris is in touch.

Boris does not know his arse from his elbow. He's never been the same since he ignored his own rules and almost died. However, life goes on for the nasty party...

Oh! no, B T : Boris was on an Israeli Kibbutz (Kfar Hanassi) and a requirement to get on one, is that you know your 'arse from your elbow'. Otherwise how could you pick apples in the orchards.But if it's kitchen work?washing dishes?
