Not when you just let the old and sick die at home or in a care home.....problem solved.

the NHS has spare beds even WITHOUT the Nightingale sites (several of which are still being worked on).

And that's on top of a mortality rate of 80% once you're on a ventilator - Only Dyson. Made in the UK, with pride.

Did you get that 80% from one of your charts?

The point is by the time they're approved the peak will have passed.
A second point is why the government ordered ventilators that need to go through the approval process in a dire time-critical emergency, rather than ramping up existing designs*

*Well they had to pay a few million to him for Brexit support innit.

Its his go to market strategy... Wait for the industry pioneers to make their mistakes and fail, then catch the second wave and Dyson up the business.
