Ridiculous. By the time a factory switches over to do that, this will be over. Hell, it’s actually all over now. ALl that we are seeing is what it would look like if the government was chasing down a seasonal flu by tracking down each individual case and waiting until nobody in America had the flu.

From listening to a news conference last week my thought was he’s reducing the restrictions of the Affordable Health Care Act.

Remembering the Medical Device tax in the Affordable Health Care Act too, same Democrats who passed and/or supported the law are now angry about scarcity of Medical supplies...?

My observation is Donald Trump now deserves some credit for revolutionizing Health Care and Medical access in ways the Affordable Health Care Act couldn’t and/or wouldn’t. Just wouldn’t fit the media narrative though...

The good news is that Ford began producing ventilators today. The bad news is that they cost $40,000 or more, and they’re too big to fit in a hospital room ... and they are called “the F-150 pickup truck” model.

:-P

I have three F-150’s on order for a project with the company I work for. I expect long delays, and don’t care

Here is a 30 second video from the European Space Agency showing factories in China shutting down and coming back on line. Looks like they were down hard for about a month or so..

In WW2, GM converted to tank production in 6 months. By war’s end, they were also making airplanes. Shipyards were cranking out a ship per day. Escort carriers were commissioned weekly.

It can be done.
