Then get more manufacturing facilities. If during WWII Ford was flexible
enough to switch from making cars to making B-24 bombers in a matter of
months and GM change to making Sherman Tanks then air conditioner
manufacturers could switch over to making ventilators on a scale never seen
on this planet before.  Of course during WWII the US had a competent
administration that knew the difference between its ass and a hole and the
ground to coordinate the entire thing, so I guess it's out of the question
today.
