For the safety of the workers, the plant has been shut down. We were told until April 2nd but nothing has been made official yet. I do apologize for the delay it may cost in the shipment of your new JT

The entire world economy is collapsing before our eyes over the sniffles. It is an amazing time we live in. We will be lucky to get out of this without being dragged into a great depression.

Each day it creeps closer and closer to a world I have no interest in living in...

Oh man! My ordered JT was finished being built in the middle of last week, but my dealer said it hadn't shipped yet.

Do you know if vehicles already built & just waiting to be shipped were being shipped before the shut down? On a related note, are the guys who transport built vehicles to the dealerships part of the shut down?

WHO said 3.4% mortality rate. This number has been proven grossly inaccurate. The real numbers have been between 0.2% - 0.8%.

As of Wednesday morning 7,301 US confirmed cases 116 confirmed deaths that is a 1.6% mortality rate. With bought 86% of infections going undocumented because the infected had no signs or symptoms ( maybe the sniffles ).

Word wide 197,093 Confirmed cases 80,840 recoveries 7,905 deaths. The fake news has whipped this up into the worlds largest overrated panic. Destroying every economy that it touches.

Our hospitals can't handle the load is the issue if it peaks too quickly. Even the biggest hospitals in each city still don't have a ton of beds, and even fewer respirators. China has had people quarantined for 50+ days at this point in some cities, thats how they got a stop to it. Supplies to handle this for medical staff are already running low. 1% of any major city needing hospitalization is still enough to greatly exceed the hospital capacity for a major city.

Even with the limited number of people this effects it can still have some pretty major consequences for that limited percentage of people it will effect.

Or, the other fake news channel has been misreporting the truth. Let's take a look from a war footing since the big moron understood it that way. The truth is a minor ailment effecting all troops on the other side is just enough to disrupt the will to fight, or the capability to fight. That's enough to turn the tide. Similarly, this thing is just enough to destabilize society. For a long time. The only option is to take the pain upfront, short term, so we can get a handle on this thing, and keep a stable society. This has less to do with death, than America. And morons aren't helping. My opinions.

The way I understand it, limiting social contact is all about reducing the death toll. The virus is likely to spread to about the same number of Americans either way. The difference is how many are affected at any one time.

- Doing life as usual will overload the health system to the point that more individuals will die due to lack of respirators. The virus would move through our country pretty rapidly with no limits on interaction. (The economy would be less affected, but there would be preventable deaths)

- Shutting things down keeps the infection rate slow enough for our medical facilities to keep up with respirator demand. This will save lives. Unfortunately, this isn't going to shorten the duration. It is going to extend it ... on purpose. (The economy will continue to be hit hard as a result.)

I agree with the plan that will save the most lives despite its effect on our livelihood. No one knows the specific degree to which we need to shut things down. Our best minds are weighing the information and making their best guess at what to do.

If they would say it the way you said it, we'd be talking about what a bummer it is to have a plant closure.

If your (any of you) news outlet is not making this clear, please try other news outlets....Extra points if you let them know they need to do more.

Without the right efforts, where we are/were heading is where Italy is - where they are doing triage and not giving or removing ventilators from older patience in order to give them to younger patients who are more likely to survive this - this, probably above all else, is something Americans are not ready for.

I work for Thermo Fisher Scientific and our directives have been about two weeks ahead of the governments.

I believe this administration is finally striking the right tone (other than the blame game) and hope it is not too late....

That is not how you calculate a mortality rate when the majority of the confirmed cases are still active infections.
