America has 16,000 ventilators in reserve but 70,000 are needed. First time, we're counting something other than warheads, submarines and aircraft carriers.

Who are we fighting? The thing to worry about is that next outbreak isn't something to occur a century later. Another might start next year.

And that next outbreak might not be affecting humans at all but a virus that only affects plants and vegetation with 70% "mortality" rate and ten times more contagious. Might happen and that would be the real doomsday.

And ironically, the world is so centered around "defence" that even to ramp up the production of the ventilators, what has to be invoked is actually "Defense Production Act" or DPA.
