Multiple British engineering companies such as Rolls Royce Aero Engines as well as tractor-excavator manufacturer JCB are said to be changing their operations to produce much-needed ventilators instead. One company in France is reportedly already doing this.
LVMH, which owns perfume brands such as Christian Dior, Guerlain, and Givency, are likewise shifting their operations to make hand sanitizer, which the company will deliver "significant quantities" of to Paris-area hospitals for free.
The British government is asking any and all companies that normally produce what it deems as "non-essential" items to join the aforementioned in manufacturing whatever is needed to help in the fight against the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19). And many, says Health Secretary Matt Hancock, are "enthusiastic" about this opportunity.
At the same time, the machinery needed to produce ventilators is in short supply in the United Kingdom, and importing more of it during these times could be difficult. Nevertheless, companies are doing what they can to join up with the U.K.'s "National Effort for Ventilator Production."
While companies like JCB are better equipped than LVMH to switch over to producing ventilators instead of earth-moving machinery, manufacturing medical machinery is quite different from manufacturing excavators, which poses some challenges.
"We have been approached by the Prime Minister to see if we can help with the production of ventilators," stated Lord Bamford, the company's head.
"We have research and engineering teams actively looking at the request at the moment. It's unclear as yet if we can assist, but as a British company, we will do whatever we can to help during the unprecedented times our country is facing."
Listen below as Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, talks about how health authorities routinely fail to tell the public about how to boost their immunity naturally, and instead just tell them to wash their hands:
Vitamin C is an easy and safe way to boost your immunity naturally
Here in the United States, President Trump has issued new guidelines urging Americans to avoid all groups of more than 10 people. He's also advising people to avoid going out to bars, restaurants and food courts, and is recommending that all schools close and remain closed for the foreseeable future.
"Whatever it takes, we're doing," Trump stated, adding that with multiple weeks of such restrictions, "we can turn the corner" on this pandemic.
But what Trump isn't doing, along with every other state and local leader out there who's imposed similar restrictions and/or regulations, is advising the public about how they can actually put their immune systems to good use through functional nutrition. For some reason, that's never part of the agenda, even as these same folks push for new vaccines as the "cure."
Most Americans probably don't even know that clinical trials of intravenous vitamin C are taking place in China right now, and with positive results. As it turns out, vitamin C is an exceptional antiviral nutrient that really all Americans should be taking orally in therapeutic doses all the time, even when there's not a global pandemic.
Another important immune-boosting nutrient is vitamin D, which is in especially short supply during the wintertime when natural sunlight is limited. Supplementing with vitamin D3, along with its cofactor vitamin K2, is another great way to help keep yourself healthy no matter what virus is circulating.
