I continue to work to come up with a ventilator utilizing off-the-shelf components. The last thing I was thinking about was entering some kind of challenge for it. If and when I come up with something, I'll be sending it directly to New York state, as I don't have the resources to even prototype one.

There needs to be coordination of efforts. We'd cheerfully print parts with our 3D printer - I'm sure others feel the same.

There are also those willing to sew masks at home.

Maybe someone will create a way for folks to get the resources where they're most needed. (Though some are simply putting them directly where needed.).
