Hello, we are a group on #vesusvirus hackathon working on the project „Supply Aid Ventilators“.

There are some research papers you could peruse, e.g. Estimates of the Demand for Mechanical Ventilation in the United States During an Influenza Pandemic. With bags of cash, you could see if the data in market reports has much value. I have no idea where these numbers come from, but I guess it’s something like what you’re looking for:

Check out the project submission - well done @epflyingzhang & team!
