F1 Mercedes team, in conjunction with University College, London have developed a breathing aid, to take the pressure off lack of ventillator supplies.

UCLH critical care consultant Professor Mervyn Singer said: "These devices are a halfway house between a simple oxygen mask and invasive mechanical ventilation which requires patients to be sedated.
"They will help to save lives by ensuring that ventilators, a limited resource, are used only for the most severely ill."
As well as Mercedes F1, the collaboration also included Oxford Optronix, a small business that has manufactured oxygen monitors for the devices.

The German and the Brits coming to the aid of the USA.......how refreshing.

Mercedes F1 is actually headquartered in Britain. One of the strange anomalies of motor sport is that many teams, like the Austrian Red Bull team, are based in England.
