@elonmusk can you help us in Louisiana? Our hospitals here could use some extra help as well especially in New Orleans and Baton Rouge. Last week I was in the hospital with symptoms but it turned out to be strep. My nurses and doctors didn’t have N95 masks only paper masks
Cole Adam Davis@COLEADAMDAVIS· Mar 23, 2020What would be the best way to contact @elonmusk and his team @Tesla in order to get masks and PAPR helmets to Baton rouge general and Oschner new Orleans? Louisiana is currently the Fastest spreading state in the united states.

@elonmusk · Mar 23, 2020
We’ll try to get & deliver as many as possible. N95 masks are a pain to wear btw. Less onerous masks are better most of the time.

I'm not advocating uncontrolled panicking. If you panic for more than a couple of hours, you will exhaust yourself and
you may well not have to energy to panic later, when you really feel you have to
So try about 20 minutes panicking at 11.00 am, and then another spell at 6.00pm

A quick photo of 50,000 N95 masks and uncountable PAPR helmets from @Tesla @elonmusk @omead_a for #COVID19 response in my garage before they were loaded into @UWMedicine trucks. GRATEFUL TO TESLA for this lightning fast donation. We are so in need right now.

Thanks for taking delivery in your garage! Let us know if there’s anything else you need.

News about the ventilators?
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Mar 22, 2020
We expect to have over ~1200 to distribute this week. Getting them delivered, installed & operating is the harder part.

“For some items we have less than a week’s supply, and we expect a surge of patients to start coming. This donation from Tesla is incredible,” said Dr. Waldorf from UW Medicine ❤️
Thank you @Tesla @elonmusk 🙏🏼❤️

Supply chain logistics — getting masks & other PPE to the right places in time — is the main issue we’re hearing from ER physicians

You’re most welcome. We’re working on getting other types of PPE too. Ventilators should arrive within a few days.

Why have so many coronavirus patients died in Italy?
The country's high death toll is due to an ageing population, overstretched health system and the way fatalities are reported
telegraph.co.uk/global-health/…
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Mar 22, 2020
Italy: “On re-evaluation by the National Institute of Health, only 12 per cent of death certificates have shown a direct causality from coronavirus.”

Close contact family gatherings that mix young kids, who have almost no risk of C19 death, with grandparents who have high risk (especially those with prior lung damage), are one of the most powerful mortality vectors

Sigmoid (S-curve) is how all physical and mental viruses behave, regardless of containment. Containment reduces asymptote of S-curve. At this point, we have strict containment in US/Europe & should expect similarly reduced asymptote to China.

The fatalities could have been false positive as well.
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Mar 21, 2020
Exactly, both would be false positive. Also, dying with C19 is different from dying because of C19. Vast majority who died had other illnesses too.

Elon, when you produce the ventilators, will you open source the ventilator design with the design specs. Many companies who are also trying to manufacture ventilators would appreciate it? 🤞
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Mar 21, 2020
Sure, although ventilator companies definitely know how to make ventilators. Just a spike in demand right now. Also, using CPAP machines for less severe cases & using one ventilator for several patients seem like good moves to meet short-term demand.
