I don't think this project wants to create panic. To me it rather is trying to help and be prepared. I'd rather have too many than too few.

Plus, we don't know when the site was set up. Two weeks ago ? Four weeks ago ? Our collective knowlegde is changing every day. Could just be they have been busy and did not find the time to update it ?

And finally, blueprint for a cheap OSS FEV will always be useful. COVID or not.

They’re not arguing against having an open source spec, they’re just pointing out that you can do the open source ventilator thing while not spreading misinformation.

Please don’t confuse the two. It’s hard enough to fight the misinformation as is without well-intentioned people such as yourself introducing red herrings.

Again, your point is coming from a good place. But we need to be really careful about not accepting misinformation.

This is one line on a whole page. And if usually people should cross-reference at the very least 3 reputable sources before accepting an informations as true. Maybe it is a good time to ingrain that message along the "wash your hands"
