If you read my earlier report on efforts to convert CPAP machines into ventilators with new firmwware the good news is that the feared massive ventilator shortage seems (for now) to have been avoided.

I got a chance to talk with the CMO of ResMed, one of the world's leading CPAP companies, which also makes ventilators, to get their take on the shortage and efforts to convert their machines for this purpose. They get asked this hundreds of times a day, he says, but so far the demand has not been there from hospitals, and so they have kept their priority on their more advanced machines.
