Hope, when President Trump was talking about "ventilators" and forcing companies to manufacture them en masse under the Defense Production Act and the declared National Emergency during COVID, he was referring to MEDBEDS in my opinion - not actual ventilators.

I believe using his Powers as a Wartime President FORCED many big companies to immediately shift their regular production to manufacturing of MEDBEDS for the entire world, perhaps reaching production of around 1000 units per day.

Because Medbeds were still "classified" he could not mention them by name, so he used code word "ventilators". Also saying this to throw off the Deep State so they wouldn't go attack Medbed manufacturing operations. It was a VERY dangerous time, and America had just been attacked.

Then, with millions of children rescued from DUMBs & tunnels, and soldiers doing the rescuing being severely wounded by the Enemy - they rightfully are being treated first.

I think we will see them soon!

That was my very first thought when President Trump talked about ventilators. 😉 I knew as a nurse, the use of ventilators is typically not enough for millions upon millions to be needed at a given time. Even in a real pandemic most patients would not require a ventilator. I remember thinking: What the heck is he talking about needing millions of ventilators? Then in that instant it came to me he was manufacturing med beds. 😇

Hope, I believe the ventilators were for the children rescued from tunnels when the two hospital ships were stationed in New York and LA.

Anuenue I believe you are also correct.
I also think the situation of rescuing children from deep underground places (knowing many DUMBs & tunnels were 10km deep, or approx. 33.000 feet deep) was made even more difficult because the children were acclimatized to the higher atmospheric pressure of the deep, and when they were being rescued & brought up I suspect they some cases started suffering from cerebral & pulmonary edema - or rupturing of blood vessels due to the abrupt pressure change which can be fatal. Kind of like how divers get "the bends".
Keep in mind the depths we are talking about are deeper than Mount Everest is tall above sea level. Pulmonary & cerebral edema risks are very real.
They probably had to rush in portable hyperbaric chambers or Gamow Bags to try save the kids, or worse, take the children back down.
If someone was to go from sea level to the top of Mount Everest all at once (without acclimatizing over time) they would likely perish in minutes.
