An Italian hospital ran out of ICU valves. A local biz brought a 3D printer to the hospital, redesigned & produced the valves in a few hours.

“At the time of writing, 10 patients are accompanied in breathing by a machine that uses a 3D printed valve.”

She had a high fever.

"Instead, the woman went to a buffet lunch with a friend at a hotel. In an interview with local newspaper...the woman denied that doctors had advised her to be tested. As her symptoms worsened, however, doctors say they once again advised her to be tested."

Americans: if you are sick with fever/cough/ flu symptoms, please don’t go to work!

Employers: PLEASE understand giving your employees flexibility and (paid) sick leave will save you money in the long run- it’s much cheaper than shutting down because everyone else gets sick!
