patients may need to be put on ventilators at some point but the United States has only about 200,000 machines, according to the Society of Critical Care Medicine, the Associated Press reported.
Ventilator manufacturers have boosted production, but it's not clear if that will meet the demand in the United States and other countries. "If everyone in the country wants to order some, that will get rapidly depleted in a heartbeat," Kaplan added.
