DOD should build field hospitals. Nat’l emergency measures should be taken to manufacture ventilators, respirators & testing kits. Get this GOING. They’re afraid to go full on “This is what govt can do overriding private sector during a crisis” cuz people will like it & want more

Dear Marianne & others: you might wish to follow Mariana Mazzucato (@MazzucatoM), brilliant author of "The Entrepreneurial State" and other works that highlight the role of government as innovator and developer of great new stuff. Libertarian/anti-gov types need not apply. 🙃

There was a thing earlier. A hospital needed valves for their respirators. They were able to get a 3D printer and print the valves in a matter of hours. What humans can do when they work together. Just wanted to share a positive story.
