Early Signs that Italy May be Bending Their Curve...

Let's hope we can get some of that in woodpecker suet.

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

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!?

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.

There a reason God made Dan a sportscaster...
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.

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.

Bravo, homey, bravo...
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.
If the flu fits, wear it...

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
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.
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...

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

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.

I would not leave the decision soley to the medical experts. I'm sure sound medical advice would be to lockdown the country for months but will that put us in a Great Depression? At one point will jobs be lost forever and people currently laid off will have no jobs to come back to? I would rather medical experts and economy experts work together on this. Also the hydrochloroquine and z-pac does seem to be effective on those with the severe symptoms of the virus and as weeks go by I think we will see some good results.

I go with the medical experts. If hydrochlooquine and z-pac work fine, but you still want the disease stopped. I'd say until June at least.

Yeah... that's what I posted yesterday. Deaths still jumping, but new case rate is showing some sign of slowing.

Bravo, homie...
Could be sooner, if stay inside was a national edict with Governors applying for exemptions, e.g., pretty sure Wyoming ranchers can go to work.
But as it is we still have Governors with their heads in the sand... literally in Florida... and a Prez talking Easter Sunday.
