Univ. of RI is converting used CPAP and BiPAP machines into ventilators
in order to supply local hospitals. If we have so many ventilators in production as Chump and Pencie claim, why would it be necessary for URI to do this conversion? Apparently we didn't get Chump's memo that there are many thousands available for the asking.

Organizers are asking people with unused machines to bring them to their nearest designated fire station. The machines will then be brought to URI, where a group of engineers, Ph.D. students, and other University volunteers 100-members strong will work on them in the Memorial Union Ballroom, which has been turned into a processing space. The team will sanitize, test, document, and refurbish the machines.
