What we know so far

🚚 Sourcing Material

• We need more PETG, 0.07mm thickness. Here’s the discussion about materials.
• Plan is to reach out to local firms who might have supply in their inventory

⚒️ Production

• A plan is coming together for production hygiene.
• Based on this UCLA research, Covid 19 is stable (lives) for only 3 days on plastics.
• Feedback from 8 NHS doctors is that the optimal design would be for the visors to cover their face all the way down to their chin.

📦 Distribution

• Iain Hennessy, Clinical Director from Alder Hey will distribute across the region.
• We will keep a few around for independent GPs who do not have a centralised sourcing team.
• We might need to setup some simple request form – although someone will have to monitor the requests.

💸 Costs

• A £10,000 crowdfunder has been launched on GoFundMe.
• Not yet clear who is going to cover the material costs of this operation.
• Some ideas knocking around for chasing a grant led by Max Zadow.
• Should reach out to Iain Hennessy, Clinical Director from Alder Hey to see if procurement teams can throw us a lifeline

🎤 Marketing

• Work has started on a website – here’s the website, and here’s the discussion thread about it.
• We have a small supply and are seeing enough requests through our link at Alder Hey and informal requests from friends who work on the frontline in healthcare.
