5. Maybe they could

have one machine per “ventilator room”.
The machine could have sensors to detect and supply each patient’s pressure needed and maintain proper oxygen levels.
It would be more like one giant unit with its ventilating parts separate from one another.
This would not be like splitting a ventilator!

One medical monitor could be isolated sort of like the booth that protects personnel
from x-rays so there wouldn’t be so much worry about exposure.
Hey, my microwave can detect when the food is cooked and I have manual override.
Maybe this machine is down the road a ways, because out need is so great right now.
But this could be an efficient way for more people to have ventilation in the future.
