Yes sir. Another clear consequence of our draconian response to the virus. Maybe it was a necessary evil a month ago, but right now, I believe we have enough information to prudently start getting targeted people back to work. One step at a time, but it needs to start. Smart people with smart ideas need to step up and save this economy.Inevitable.
I’ve already lost a child to cancer and my wife is high-risk for the duration of her life, I don’t wish that kind of pain on anyone.Yes sir.

They're saying a widespread vaccine takes 12-18 months. If the economy stays this shut down for that long, we're ALL in deep doo-doo.Until there is a vaccine in place and distributed worldwide, you are only fueling a potential infection rebound.
Concur, generally.They're saying a widespread vaccine takes 12-18 months. If the economy stays this shut down for that long, we're ALL in deep doo-doo.
He said one step at a time, and doing it smartly. To me that means targeted areas that make sense. Like for things that don't require high human density. I'd agree that jamming 30 kids in a clasroom isn't prudent yet. Or packing trains, buses, airplanes, cruise ships, arenas and stadiums. Or even bars and sit-down restaurants yet. But there's a lot of commerce and industry that doesn't require high human density, where practices like wearing masks and heavy use of hand sanitizer can greatly reduce the chances of transmission. Like for instance, auto manufacturing (as in the Mach-e). Auto plants have lots of automation and machinery with employees relatively spread out from each other. If an Amazon warehouse can function now, and a Costco, then an auto plant can too. And most other factories. And for that matter most other stores. Just getting people to wear masks in public goes a long way toward reducing the risk factor, yet still contribute to the economy.
I was referring to the comments of pbojanoski, whom I thought you were replying to. (Definitely not any political figures, who's mere mention ruins a thread.)Not sure what “he” you are referring to
Oh I have no problem with Ford helping by cranking out some makeshift ventilators. Kudos to them for that, absolutely. But that's only one plant out of many.Concur.
As far as this relates to MME, Ford manufacturing ventilators is a necessary, wonderful thing.
Giving the medical community and all front line workers the supplies they need is first thing.
There is no shortage of vehicles...
Shiny new cars will get here when the time is right.
