Covid-19: Meeting the challenges through Engineering

I was president of the IET for 2016-17, and have been asked by government to gather practical and innovative ideas from our Engineering communities. So, please enter any ideas you might have in this thread that might help address and mitigate the Covid-19 crisis. Ideas might include digital tracking / monitoring through therapy equipment and beyond. Even ideas outside your usual expertise domain will be welcome. Now’s the time for Engineering to show we can change the world!

    Hi Ian, I agree we need to do something that can make a big difference. I came up with this simple idea for a face mask that can be made by the the general public, after speaking with some health professionals they agree it could could have a significant impact. Ideally the filter should be made of polypropylene but I doubt most people have access to it. It may also be very useful for front line workers. Surely it is better to prevent rather than cure?

    please look at my video and pass on to anyone who can get this going. Every day counts.
