Newsnight and ventilators.

After all the initial ballyhoo, they've found out that type of ventilator isn't the best way to treat most serious cases.

Just whether this was known in other countries 'ahead' of us in the outbreak, I dunno.

Do keep up, one simple google is all it takes, you're lazier than the Brit and other NHS workers workers you hate so much, here's wiping your arse for you:

So, still undergoing clinical trials, then. He may yet make a commercial product out of it. I don't believe Dyson wouldn't be capable of making such devices.

Do keep up, there's a good chap. My question is hypothetical because it's already been announced Dyson won't be asked by the government to provide any ventilators because his devices failed testing. Did you miss that?

You are such a plonker for falling in love with the mockup photos of Dyson's ventilator. He always was good at fooling gullible people like you.

While you're laid off, I suggest you look for gainful employment picking crops or we will have to get more Romanians in.

Perhaps best stop hypothetical questions like, "What's happened to James Dyson's ventilator design project?" when you'd rather not hear the answer.

Given it had real internals it wasn't entirely a mockup.

And you're good at being a parasite.

Perhaps they should make your benefits dependent on picking some fruit. But I know you would squirm at the prospect.

When is Singapore-based Dyson delivering the ventilators he promised to the NHS?

Do you know if he once again wangled another government grant and yet again didn't deliver on his promises?

"Dyson has spent around £20m on this project to date, I will be funding this and we will not ?be accepting any public money."

Agreed. One of the "good" things about this pandemic is that with lots of cases to deal with, you can fairly rapidly find out which intervention techniques work best, and also what are the important ventilator parameters. At the outset it looked as though we might need lots of cheap and cheerful ones, that turns out not to have been the case.

Whatever you think about Dyson, he seems to have a pretty good tech setup.

Thank goodness for that. Maybe Dyson's need for publicity and point scoring was just too much for the government ...

Pammy could have found this out for itself if it had bothered to look at the links provided upthread - even the BBC one.

She's too lazy to pick fruit, so googling is well beyond her capabilities.

Fredxx, you're just feeling sore no one will pay you £50,000 a year to pick cabbages. You need to get real.

Why would I want to pick cabbages for £50,000 a year, all year round, where there are more pleasant alternative forms of work.

Just because you're too lazy to work, and too thick to use google, there's no need to dig at those who do work for good money.

F****ng hell. £50k for sitting on a trailer cutting off stalks and placing into rotating cup line?

I?ll do it.

How much are you holding out for to pick cabbages? £100,000?

Fredxx is a shirker and doesn't get out of bed unless you pay him.

You are the ultimate shirker. When was the last time you had any paid employment? Some of us actually work to support parasites like you..

You are an idiot. The reason why I wouldn't pick cabbages for 50k per year is I can get paid more sitting at a desk in the warm in the winter and cool in the summer.

Fredxx, I'm sorry to have to be so direct but no one will ever pay you £50,000 to pick lettuce. Sorry about that. You're going to have to accept what the market can afford.
