I heard these guys are back with testing kits: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-29459896

The UK government pulled the plug on the Project Pitlane "automated breathing bag" device very similar to the one posted above. Their logic being the situation has changed and the resource would be better spent on ramping up real ventilator production. A local company, Penlon, has been running 24hr shifts with a lot of furloughed F1 staff and others volunteering for this purpose. I think we agreed that this was the best approach when we thought there would be a ventilator shortage. Good effort from everyone and every company involved in this all over the world.

I'm lucky to have been part of a small group at work designing equipment to keep the medics safe from virus-laden aerosol. We were looking at sensors and came across this from Honeywell catalogue. I thought if anyone still had any doubt as to why a ventilator is not something you can cook up in the backyard, this makes it pretty clear. Thank you pros.



Part of our required reading. Some good info here I thought, straight from the front line. I think you just have to sign up:
