#2“Dyson has had hundreds of engineers working round the clock to design the ventilators from scratch.”
It blows my mind. Everybody now, instead of cooperating, tries to design a perfect ventilator.

#3"Meanwhile, the consortium of medical, military and civil engineering companies - which includes Airbus, Meggit, GKN and others - is working to ramp up the production of an existing design."
This is such a relief!

#4The government turned down an offer from the EU because Europe which is a bit worrying.
There are plenty of medical equipment manufacturers in the UK who've made these exact products before, or very similar products, and who know the rules and regulations well. They've offered to help, but not heard anything back from the government.

These are the kinds of things that we will have to hold the government to account for at some point.

Sometimes cooperation takes a whole more time than doing things by yourself if you know exactly what needs to be done. Adding more groups/interactions typically slow down delivery.

Excellent naming.

#8They will cost 50k£ each, support Bluetooth, look like a whale, not be repairable, lack necessary features, and last just until the 2 year warranty expires.
I hope AvE tears one down and rips them a new sphincter.

You have to consider, some of these might not get made in time or be unreliable. Having a few different baskets of eggs might be good.

I'd take 1 year at this point.
