I hope that all the DIY designs for ventilators, masks, face sheilds etc are being saved or archived somewhere. This would of course require long term thinking which is always in short supply.

I'm going to respectfully disagree. Instead, we (the US) should maintain an adequate supply of "real", proven ventilators, masks, face shields, swabs, etc. and have them strategically located in numerous places to be distrubuted to states as needed. Making it up as you go along would be a disaster like this has been. We need to learn from this....
But "we" probably won't
