Dyson will produce 10,000 ventilators for the U.K. and will donate an additional 5,000, one thousand of which will go to the U.K. with the remaining distributed to other countries.

Meanwhile, Elon Musk said Wednesday that Tesla's factory in Buffalo, New York will open soon to produce ventilators that in short supply due to the spread of COVID-19, reports TechCrunch . Musk will need to convert a portion of the factory to allow for the production of ventilators, but it is not clear how long this will take.
