    Let's hope Spain follows this trend. The epidemy in both countries has followed the same trend, difference being that in Italy the health care system has been way more overworked in general. 

    In Spain I'd say only in Madrid and maybe in Vitoria there has been a lot of trouble.

      Damn and just when our Texas Lt. Gov. decided we can sacrifice everybody's grandparent on Fox News who as usual supports the dummy in charge. Best reaction I saw to this latest quackery from the Great Orange Pumpkin & this supportive nut in our Texas government was this obvious tongue in cheek one. "Hello it’s me a principled conservative and I am here to say why wait for grandma and grandpa to die in the pandemic when we can start hunting them for sport today." Hot damn bring 'em on. We can start a hunting TV game show hosted by the Orangeman with each of us old farts getting to bring our on guns to the game. I'm all in!?

          I'd say its way to early to stop the measures in place.  We are at least 3-4 weeks behind the Italians.  Trump better be careful.

            While I still have it. You just have to make the next step logical from stopping social isolation early to full blown Italy in a NY minute like our Lt.Gov. did. And Fox is ready to help them along.?

                Trump will get hammered by the haters no matter what decision he makes...either one that may lead the country to another Great Depression or another where the MSM, and the CNN's and MSNBC's are going to magnify every flu death and blame Trump for ending the isolation restrictions too early.

                        On the plus side: ?

                        Ford, 3M and GE speed production of respirators, ventilators

                        Mar. 24, 2020 7:51 AM ET|About: Ford Motor Company (F)|By: Yoel Minkoff, SA News Editor

                        Ford (NYSE:F) is joining forces with firms including 3M (NYSE:MMM) and GE Healthcare (NYSE:GE) to increase production of powered air-purifying respirators for healthcare workers, as well as ventilator designs.

                        In addition, Ford plans to assemble more than 100,000 face shields per week and leverage its in-house 3D printing capability to produce disposable respirators for healthcare workers.

                        "By coming together across multiple industries, we can make a real difference for people in need and for those on the front lines of this crisis," said Executive Chairman Bill Ford.

                              Meanwhile back at the thread...

                              Mixed data out of Italy on Tuesday... deaths jumped higher after two days of reduction while the number of new cases rose just 8% for the 2nd consecutive day.

                              Italy new virus infections drop to lowest point in crisis – latest updates

                              • 41 minutes ago

                              More than 18,500 people have died from Covid-19 globally, according to the Johns Hopkins pandemic tracker.

                              Tuesday, March 24, 2020

                              Italy new virus infections drop to lowest point in crisis

                              Italy on Tuesday received more reassuring evidence that its coronavirus infection rate was slowing thanks to a painful lockdown that other nations are starting to apply at great economic cost.

                              Health officials across the ravaged Mediterranean country are poring over every new piece of data to see whether two weeks of bans and closures have made a dent in the crisis.

                              The harshest restrictions are theoretically due to expire on Wednesday evening — although the government is all but certain to extend them in some form for weeks or even months.

                              Italy's 743 new deaths broke two days of successive declines that had taken the number down to 601 on Monday.

                              It set a world record of 793 fatalities on Saturday.

                              But officially registered new infections rose just eight percent — the same as Monday and the lowest level since Italy registered its first death on February 21.

                              https://www.trtworld.com/life/italy-new-virus-infections-drop-to-lowest-point-in-crisis-latest-updates-34810

                              Note: TRTWorld is an online Turkish "magazine" so grain of salt... but it is one of only two up to date google hits and cites the Johns Hopkins tracker so article seems OK.

                              The other choice? Al Jazeera America... 😵

                                This could be why virus is spreading so rapidly in NY:

                                Visitors to New York City's theatre district wear face masks as a precaution

                                    Kal, Trumpenol is a suppository, right? Figured I'd ask the head asshole around here...

                                    Ag, any timing on Ford starting production? I'm hearing months for ventilators.

                                    Damn and just when our Texas Lt. Gov. decided we can sacrifice everybody's grandparent on Fox News who as usual supports the dummy in charge. Best reaction I saw to this latest quackery from the Great Orange Pumpkin & this supportive nut in our Texas government was this obvious tongue in cheek one. "Hello it’s me a principled conservative and I am here to say why wait for grandma and grandpa to die in the pandemic when we can start hunting them for sport today." Hot damn bring 'em on. We can start a hunting TV game show hosted by the Orangeman with each of us old farts getting to bring our on guns to the game. I'm all in!?

                                    He was sorta willing to "sacrifice" his 70-yo self for the sake of his grandkids. I'd ask him if he was willing to sacrifice one of his grandkids' parents.

                                      Are they bending their curve though? Or is it just burning itself out?

                                      Early man walked away as modern man took control. Their minds weren't all the same and to conquer was their goal. So He built his great empires and he slaughtered his own kind, and he died a confused man and killed himself in his own mind...

                                          That's how some people described the reason SARS disappeared from the landscape of mass Hysteria. But why should it matter? For the most part when they cold and flu season is over whatever deadly.flu we worry about seems to go on its merry way. If it does, great.
