God, what a nightmare, waking up to find yourself on a Ford ventilator...

Didn’t know car companies had vent building experiences..?

Tesla has experience because of their design and production of ventilators for spaceX. Idk why the other companies are lumped in with them though.

If I were to get sick and get put on a ventilator, I hope it is a Toyota.

Let's get John Deere to crank out some ventilators.


They'd charge an extra 30k for the green paint.

How will this work? Their machine tools are designed to crank out automobile parts. Is it an easy conversion to ventilators?



Easy. Trump says “go for it” on Twitter and now we have millions of vents. Just don’t ask about the specifics.

The vents generally are not helping, 95%+ are dying once on the vent in the hospital. So, what will be the chances of survival to 1 year, probably close to zero.

The TBM3, Bayou Bomber, in the WW2 Museum in New Orleans was manufactured by General Motors.

Toyota and Honda have kinda, sorta fell off on overall customer satisfaction. BMW passenger auto's, Chevy SUV's and Ford trucks are the car buyer's choices lately.

Vents are not a panacea. They're a tool. If you're ventilated, with an underlying condition, the vent is merely delaying the inevitable.

bullshite frick face, you have no idea what you are talking about.

95%+ frick face.

The vast majority are dying if they go to the hospital, once you are put on a vent you'll be lucking to be the 1 in 25 to survive the hospital... of course, you probably won't make it a year after that.

I’ll ask again this thread and you won’t answer again.

What is your source for this claim?

I've already posted it several times in the threads you are in, including this one.

The vast majority of people are dying once they get to the hospital, the ones put on vents die in the hospital 95% of the time. Of course, most of the survivors (less then 5%) will be lucky to make it a year. In Italy the average age of the dead is 79 for males but the life expectancy in Italy for males is 80.

The hospital is doing jack shite, and jack left town.

- 99.1%+ have one or more pre-existing conditions
- 70% have two or more pre-existing conditions
- 95%+ of the people put on vents in the study were dead at the hospital... who knows how the long the rest will live, probably near a 0% to reach a year at that point

Its old sick person bug, and vents don't help and generally you're dead if you have to go to the hospital.

The LED screens are not made in the USA. The chipboards are highly specialized and the software is too.


I can see the auto manufacturers making everything else, though.

Nah. It’s probably fairly accurate but stupid. If you die of a progressive respiratory ailment and failure, you will spend your last moments on a vent. That’s like saying CPR is pointless because statistically a lot of people die after CPR.
