Manufacturing is toast until this is over.

At this point I’m worried about ‘trivial’ stuff. Like whether Kroger (and walmart and target and king soopers and etc) has enough oil filters (and air filters and belts and what not) set aside for their fleet to keep it running close to normal...if we can’t get any more for several months.

Filters “can” in a pinch be cleaned and reused (probably with reduced efficiency), but belts, brake pads, etc., not so much.

Quite a bit of “critical” stuff could be ramped up, but it might take martial law (possibly including a lot of “no liability” clauses for products rammed into production quickly) to focus production where most critical. Ugh.
