Yep, if a hospital has a couple of 3D printers donated to them, by all means, make something. I am mostly concerned with the coverage from the media.

Here are a few articles:

https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/07/health/librarian-3d-printing-...

https://www.foxnews.com/science/coronavirus-3d-printing-vent...

https://www.theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/news/coronavirus/art...

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-3d-pri...

https://www.technologyreview.com/2020/03/27/950240/3d-printi...

And NYTimes: https://www.google.com/search?q=nytimes+3d+printing+coronavi...

It's cool but I am cynical that media loves talking about 3D printing because it generates more viewership; no one wants to read an article "Decades old technology of injection molding is still the best way to make high volume parts during this pandemic".
