So I spoke to @kvnmns, and yes this was in fact done temporarily during the Las Vegas mass shooting. He directed me to research done 10 years ago @sunydownstate right here in Flatbush showing it could be done using sheep. https://t.co/avC3kctWKz https://t.co/xvv4yB6tMI

@DoctorsUpdates @Brooksmeisters @JimBethell @MattHancock Is this viable given the current situation? Research showing the capability of a single ventilator to serve the requirements of four people with some modification: https://t.co/9PWCMgU7Rq https://t.co/RSBnpqagvv

@doctorgaona No lo han inventado ellos, pero si lo aplican en personas pueden ser los primeros, porque en USA también lo tienen previsto si se desbordan las UCIs. En 2007 se realizó este estudio usando ovejas del tamaño de humanos: https://t.co/t9cxEo5Ajv
