London Dyson has received an order from the UK government for 10,000 ventilators to support efforts by the country's National Health Service to treat coronavirus patients.
James Dyson, the company's billionaire founder, confirmed the order in a letter to employees shared with CNN on Wednesday.'Desperate' shortage of ventilators for coronavirus patients puts manufacturers on wartime footing"A ventilator supports a patient who is no longer able to maintain their own airways, but sadly there is currently a significant shortage, both in the UK and other countries around the world," Dyson wrote.
We have billionaires like richardbranson and his peers who never gives back to the people and sue the NHS for money. Then we have Dyson (James Dyson) who actually helps build a better society.

It is all fine to create a new machine but... it is a new machine and my respiratory therapist mother has told me these machines must be learned and operate.
Wow. Designed and produced in 10 days. Let’s get them out there - after all there are sbrulliant people out there. +++++
LadyLakeMusic cnn - while Dyson is being hailed, it is worth noting that a British company called Gtech were told that their ventilators were not required then, oddly, Dyson is in the news (this time, not for being a Tory donor based in Singapore avoiding taxes) Spooky, eh? moneyfortheboys
10 days ago?!!!!
Is the country he makes these going to allow him to sell to UK if they also have a great need?

Dyson.. what to say.. 👏🏻👏🏻

Thank you DYSON...

If only all countries in the world put aside their current and old grudges aside and cooperated with each other instead of trying to reinvent the wheel on their own they would find the cure much much faster and save much more people.
The maker of the best vacuums, blowdryers and fans is now making (probably also the best) ventilators. Hopefully we can also get some in the US
$$$$$$$$$$$$$
This is CNN do you really believe this bulllshit?
Its like office. Americans will steal it.
Hoping they aren’t as expensive as his vacuums.
jaketapper If we had competent people in OUR government we should have had hundreds of thousands of these ventilators in warehouses READY to be deployed MONTHS ago.
Please send some mass produced to the most hit states to help save some lives
Can existing ventilators b modified so the output can b attached 2a Y shaped hose so the 2patients can get the air from 1 machine? Both outputs have a psi guage & valve adj & the main output pressure would b increased bc of course now you’ve got 2 people taking air & not just 1.
Do It! realDonaldTrump NYGovCuomo GovAbbott procure Tyson under the Emergency Procurement Policy & send them the $. Why is it that Ford & GM are 'ordered' to produce them when I don't think they produce them now?
jaketapper Bypass the government and provide them directly to hospitals.
And since It’s a Dyson it will cost you three times as much!
thomaspower Is Dyson revenue about to drop so switching to ventilators ?
jaketapper 1- donate 90% of CoVents produced 2- sell the other 10% to billionaires for half a Billion $ each 3- jeff bezos’ costs 5 Billion but includes next-day delivery 4- congratulations you have now created a short-term, self-collecting wealth tax out of raw, uncut capitalism
Dyson didn't design it. He's claimed he's going to be involved in building it but the government says nothing has been decided.
jaketapper Great. Where are they?
MikeGiardi Is it affordable for every household
SethAbramson And it will ventilate you 10 times harder.
Amazing — almost to good to be true. I hope it is.
SethAbramson Was this the design actually invented by a university team and kindly donated to aid in the current crisis, which is frankly quite shamefully only being manufactured by one company with close financial ties to the government? Because if so, shame on them for not sharing in turn.
SethAbramson That's great news.
jaketapper Stop giving Trump a election rally platform CNN if so give Biden equal time it’s not fair.
Dyson did not design it. TTP (the Technology Partnership) designed, Dyson is building it.
jaketapper Balls in your court .elonmusk.
This seems intuitive... asking Tesla seems intuitive. Asking ford and GM? I imagine a hose connected to the exhaust of a gasoline generator
TimberGhost7 The design should be licensed to US companies!
Well what are you waiting for. BUILD
Now we’re talking.
Private industry rising to the call without forcing them to through old wartime acts? Go figure. Who could have seen this coming? Besides everyone who isn't a partisan loon, I mean.
Ordinary ventilators cost thousands. Dyson ventilators tens of thousands.
And cost 500% more than any other ventilator.
Like if all of these companies like GM and 3M and the other would work together this could be done much faster.
Yes, Dyson work w & open source too 4 d 3D printing private community: make elonmusk 3M makerfaire make adafruit Tesla 10DowningStreet ItalyinUS PMOIndia DickGordonDG IskoMoreno VicoSotto Cynthia_Villar _camillevillar MannyPacquiao GM Ford realDonaldTrump
Is he making the plans public so other companies can use the design and save lives as well?
Mr.Dyson, you are a genius. Thank you.
Nice story: bravo Dyson but I read it two days ago on Popular Mechanics
So it hasn't been tested? Govts need to take care that charlatans won't use the pandemic to push untested 'new' devices, for a profit.
So why can't US companies do this? Seems that the so called greatest country in the world isn't.
But their factories are in China right?
Of course you people give approval and advertising ways to them and him. You would only give that more then less to whomever hates Trump.
deym. V10s FTW
Nice, hope it's also TRUE
Why did it take a phone call ?
Us Brits putting the US to shame again it seems.
Everyone is coming onboard to help=James Dyson We all thank them.
Hey realDonaldTrump where’s our ventilators, you incompetent ghoul.
Hopefully it doesn’t suck your lungs out. Dyson makes some very powerful vacuum cleaners.
Dyson - please 'open source' the design and let the army of closed manufacturing plants make it. Build in a 'max profit is X% above cost' to avoid ambulance chasers. CONTRIBUTE the device to the world of makers who are ready with 3d printers. See the Community make 100,000 a day.
And were still waiting on Trump to order companies to start mass producing them , let me rephrase that , waiting on Trump to see what companies that will put money in his pockets and help with his re-election and get those no bid contracts .
Kayla_cooley KarSugrue
MelanieMoore Which look amazing, but will work half as well, for twice the cost, and won’t be available for months.
Thought I read yesterday, the order was cancelled?
And just like that Andrew Cuomo is an expert on medical inventory and logistics
No country except China can provide so much
Awesome
So Dyson is smarter than elonmusk huh?
Sounds like the govt's thanks to Dyson for supporting their Brexit campaign.
Why do you refuse the cover the Tara Reade story?
I think Dyson is the real genius here, not Elon Musk
Trump:cnn,fake news
How many guesses do I get at which Chinese province's factories will be tasked with the OEM assembly?
Now you think it’s an emergency, to upgrade the Kennedy Center is a more of an emergency to the Democratic Party, well I think of the Kennedy Center I will always think of the Virus of 2020,Racist CNN Trying to make the virus more Hispanic than Chinese calling it Corona🍺
And when the pandemic is over they can use them to vacuum the carpet.
Stylish?!?!?! CNN you are obviously not needed anymore...
There are companies in the UK that actually manufacture ventilators. Why not give them the contract? Because they’re not Tory donors. This is Trump-level corruption that will cost lives.
Well Scottish football fans, at least we know what James Traynor is working on now. This bullshit story is as real as Morelos transfer or a Sevco investment tale.
If you reverse the polarity of house hold vacuum cleaners they also work as ventilators.
Since there seems to be a shortage of $ or ventilators... or will to help, perhaps or governors can reach out to Dyson!
Wow, that's awesome
Why only 15000
Oops...you just reported something positive.
Attack all local employees of USA emabassy and consulate. If they have powerful backing then attack it aswell.
And who is friends with who that this deal happened? How much money traded hands? They should have asked Elon Musk to do it. I hear he offered. And Musk at least has a track record of delivering functional products. Unlike Dyson. Worst, most overprices, POS vacuums ever.
