Only 13% of ventilator target hit.

I remember the excitement on April 5 when the govt announced the first batch of Penlon ventilators had arrived - all 30 of them.

BTW where's the Dyson ones we've ordered?

Dyson said the company had designed and built an entirely new ventilator, called the "CoVent," since he received a call 10 days ago from UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
"This new device can be manufactured quickly, efficiently and at volume," Dyson added, saying that the new ventilator has been designed to "address the specific needs" of coronavirus patients.
A spokesperson for the company, which is best known for its vacuum cleaners and hand dryers, said the ventilators would be ready by early April.

It’s an entirely new ventilator, as discussed on another thread it will need testing and then approval
 
"It’s an entirely new ventilator, as discussed on another thread it will need testing and then approval"

And that is precisely the point. Wonder why Dyson got the job? A bit like Grayling's award of a contract for ferries to a company that had no ships.

Actually I know why Dyson got the job, I was only joking.
 
I am amazed that this seems to have slipped under the radar.

The UK is getting close to the peak of demand for ventilators in this first phase of the virus. The UK has not managed to increase the number by anything like they said they would.
 
Reading this morning that the ventilators developed by the F1 group have been rejected as unsuitable for covid-19 patients, need to be able to switch vent modes in order to clear lungs of fluid and they're not easily switchable apparently. Can't be asred with a link and Coops would just dismiss it because it was in the Grauniad.

The Brexit glasses worn by the current government in this crisis may cause further unnecessary deaths!
