Amazing! My God, that is amazing! Glory! How can it be that help is on the way?! We've heard rumors of so much suffering. Finally, some good news. Already in the works, already on the 'market,' already touching the bodies of the afflicted. O my god. What a man. What a thinker. How timely this is!

Here comes a 'champion' onto the event stage! Hallelujah!

Does the inside smell like Harbor Freight?

More like a garage in Waxahatchie TX.

No. The plastic smell. Haven't you ever burned your eyes in that store?

I've smelled many a garage in Waxahachie.  Some were pleasant with the smell of brewing beer.  I think I can live with that if it's delivering oxygen to me.

NPR did a piece on this company recently.  Great story of a solution to a problem going unnoticed.

I had a seed on the Italians who started using snorkeling masks for both patients and medical staff.

The Italians  were using similar baggy helmets for patients only but in limited supply. (as seen on another politicized seed )

The masks for staff become permanent personal respirators using small plentiful ventilator filters

These Sea Long helmets are sturdier and give great a great option to staff and patient alike.

Awesomeness in our world at work. I will confide in you all, that my biggest-my worse problem with this disease is the ventilator exercise at the end. People drowning in their own lung 'juices.' This man helps people live! This will help people hang-on! This will alleviate some worry, while adding time!

I have a full face snorkel mask I haven't yet used.  Hmm. Wonder if I should let my RN friend know in case they could use it

These beautiful tools make me very happy. Almost 'giddy' with some relief.

And the man who invented this is a saint. Not profiteering at all, and willing to share. The best in mankind.

Yes, I read that he won't increase the price.  He could, but he won't.
