The key is finding robots to do it and trapping them in a machine at the hospital. Most robots are too busy posting on Twitter to tend to a human pneumonia patient.

It is summer in Australia right now. Australia has many cases of Corona. Looks like you are wrong. Also, people can get the flu in the summer.

It's a picture of rocks with googly eyes. If you think it's racist, then you should probably stop pretending everything is about race you bigot.

Ventilators are some of the simplest medical technologies imaginable and have existed for about a century now.
Even if we take at face value that there was ever a national shortage of them, it could've been resolved in a matter of days with only a small team of mechanical engineers. At worst, make-shift ventilators using common parts at a hardware store could've been constructed.
Instead of doing any of the above, the public, or rather the state media realised it was election season in the US and it was more opportune to turn the situation into a political talking point. And since the rest of the world is the US's vassal, everyone else fell in line.
So instead of using what would've amounted to an insignificant fraction of the modern economic machine to build ventilators, subsidise the 80+ year old crowd to stay at home, and build specifically-tailored hospitals and clinics, we decided to shut down the world and do nothing (aside from destroying countless careers, small businesses, and many life savings).
All this to "flatten" a curve that never needed to be flattened. For a virus that, due to it not being a purely human-specific pathogen, will never be eliminated from this earth no matter how long we decided to shut ourselves away in our homes.
