I dont know about UK/Europe but there are many companies in the US who can tool up to make pretty much any component, and have large assembly workforce. Quite a few are even qualified for medical devices, with clean room molding and assembly. I would assume that UK has several given that there are plenty of engineering firms in the UK that would demand those services. Can't you like buy the plans on license for reproduction rather than reinventing the wheel?

In ww2 they often took one company's design and handed it to other manufacturers saying : "build this". The willys jeep wasn't actually designed by willy's overland for example. So that would probably the way to do it if you couldn't simply scale up at the original manufacturer.

This came up on my google news feed because they know I like Batman... Lift comes down on top of woman on a movie set, paralyzes her. She wasn't even a stunty, just a production assistant. https://www.citynews1130.com/2020/03/14/woman-paralyzed-while-working-on-set-of-batwoman-in-vancouver/ You could chalk this up as a freak accident, but a stuntwoman died in Vancouver a few years ago filming Deadpool 2. Two major gently caress ups like these should invite some more oversight.

They shut down the country during the biggest holiday in the world. China absolutely set a good standard for how to deal with pandemics, bested by Taiwan and South Korea who had more time advantage and a foreign source, rather than internal. The west is not trying to replicate any of those successes despite having the foresight china lacked and Italy and Spain are showing you the results. sorry for your racist brain tho

So this broke-rear end spanish airline with 2 planes in their fleet is trying to make a profit from the coronavirus by taking a job no other airline will touch. Wuhan->San Francisco direct flight for refugees, they unloaded passengers last night on the opposite side of the runway (away from the terminal.) Set up 3 serious tents and were testing the passengers 1 at a time, slowly. All the passengers clothes got wrapped in plastic. Every passenger was moved off-site in vans. Every baggage container was wrapped in plastic and moved off-site. No one was allowed within 200 ft of the plane so airfield safety was escorting us onto the taxiway to get around the quarantined area. They are keeping it out of the news. I wonder if they are uninfected, or already infected and no longer contagious people.

deoju posted:This came up on my google news feed because they know I like Batman... There will be no more oversight. poo poo's been happening since cameras started rolling in BC and nothing ever happens. Joi Harris was a professional motocross racer who was hired to double Domino on Deadpool 2. Although she was an accomplished racer, this was the first time doing stunts on a film. She had successfully completed the stunt in question five times, when on the the sixth take she overshot a platform, struck a curb, and was thrown helmetless through a plate glass window. During the investigation, the production claimed that it was "not possible" to CGI Zazie Beetz's face overtop a helmet, even though Fincher had done it with Rooney Mara in The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo almost 10 years earlier. The studio received a Worker's Compensation fine, settled out of court with Harris' family, and the movie made a poo poo ton of money. Late least year, Ron Perlman was driving a truck while shooting some non-union indie shitter in the Okanagan when he had a geezer moment and drove through video village (the area where the director and key crew members can watch what the cameras are capturing), running over a number of propane canisters that were being used to heat the tents, and causing a minor foot injury to one crew member. The producers reportedly attempted to continue shooting for the rest of the day, causing a number of crew members to quit. TMZ has footage of the aftermath. In 2016, Maze Runner star Dylan O’Brien was almost killed during a "vehicle transfer" stunt when he fell from one vehicle and was struck by the other. He suffered serious physical injuries, including a traumatic brain injury. The production was halted and it took O'Brien almost a year to recover. In 2014, on the set of Falling Skies, a parked but un-chocked production truck rolled backwards down a hill, pinning a Teamster security guard against a tree and killing him. The tailgate had been lowered to load equipment, and was reportedly a factor in his death. I actually heard someone say that "he was cut in half by the tailgate, but being stuck in that position kept him alive, so they brought his wife and family to say goodbye before they moved the truck, which they knew would kill him, which reminded me of how stupid people fall for urban legends, and also that the M. Knight Shyamalan movie Signs was loving awful except for that one scene where Joaquin Phoenix is watching TV. In 1998, Vancouver stuntman Marc Akerstream was killed when he was struck in the head by a piece of flying debris while watching the explosion of an empty rowboat on TV series The Crow: Stairway to Heaven. You may remember him as the gang member Jackie Chan fights with a pinball machine in Rumble in the Bronx. Akerstream was not involved in the stunt, but was watching the explosion from the shore when debris ricocheted off a tree behind and struck him in the head. In 1997, local stuntman Keith Perepelkin was killed in Squamish, British Columbia during filming of blockbuster Howie Long masterpiece Firestorm. Perepelkin was dropped from a helicopter attached to a 50-lb dummy, but his chute failed or did not open. He had never completed a low-altitude jump before, was wearing a high-altitude pack with no reserve, and the helicopter he jumped from was reportedly only half as high as it was supposed to be per the stunt permit. A number of non-local members of the crew fled the country after the failed stunt. I don't believe anyone ever faced trial, even though the stunt coordinator, Glenn Wilder, and executive producer, Louise Rosner, were charged with criminal Workers Compensation violations. The production was eventually fined a grand total of $60,000, which was probably more than that piece of poo poo made after publicity costs. This is just Vancouver and the surrounding area. Google 'Sarah Jones Midnight Rider' if this post didn't make you angry enough.

I would've thought crush syndrome more likely, which is a real phenomenon in which a person is so crushed their muscles release a deadly amount of myoglobin and potassium and other stuff that causes acute kidney failure when the pressure is removed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crush_syndrome There is also reperfusion injury, which is trauma caused by blood flow suddenly returning to a tissue after a period of hypoxia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reperfusion_injury So I think it's plausible that someone could be crushed in such a way that they're still talking but essentially dead as soon as they're released.

Yes and that is the only way that you could ramp up production in a few months, but does not solve the safety or regulatory issues. When you go to build an existing design, you still need to fully qualify that you are making that device and its components in a way that is safe for medical use. Variation that is acceptable for toys could kill people in a ventilator. There will be many and severe quality oversights if you produce medical devices in a facility that is not ready for it, all I'm saying is that its technically possible to just order factories to start making ventilators.

Finally someone spotted one of them and told me that yeah, they were just hungover. I also had someone who would constantly call out sick and would send a picture of a clinic waiting room as proof, and it turns out they were just faking the pics and actually responding to an anxiety disorder by staying home and smoking massive amounts of weed.

A combination of blowing my nose a lot and the dry air seems to set it off. It also may be a family thing, my grandmother had to have hers cauterized and she made it sound so horrible that I never did. Nobody’s ever accused me of having a coke habit (I think I’m too lethargic to look like I have one), but it’s a concern every time it happens at work.

She just refused to get any help, then lied and claimed that she was. I ended up accidentally finding her private Tumblr where I found out just how extensive her mental health problems were, including that she had made more than one suicide attempt while working here, and that her boyfriend (who worked for a different company under the same umbrella) had been cheating on her and lying that she was the one cheating to all of his coworkers. It was an utter mess of a situation and I'm glad to not have to deal with that ticking time bomb anymore.

When my daughter was a toddler, we had a good friend who was a pediatrician. She pointed out that a lot of things that give you flu-like symptoms are a number of different virus, such as coxsackie virus, and it's not worth diagnosing which specific one you have because the worst symptoms tend to last a day or two at most, and they're not life-threatening. She referred to those ailments as "getting the yuck." When my daughter was in day care and early primary, she'd get the yuck 2-3 times a year, and of course I'd follow. I suspect that's what people, myself included, tend to refer to as "stomach flu."
