UPDATE: I wanted to make sure that folks reading this diary understand that Ford is working in several directions. They will eventually make an powered respirator for health workers, (more like a powered protective mask).
In addition, they are starting to make the 3M respirator masks (like the N95 pictured above) with their 3D printers.
But Ford is also working with GE (Health Division) to make hospital ventilators based on FDA approved designs.
GM is also working on hospital ventilators based on an existing Ventec Medical design. Musk’s (Tesla) efforts include buying Chinese ventilators, as well as plans to team with Medtronic with their approved ventilator.
