These days, there is a lot to be worried about with the number of cases of the coronavirus Covid-19 rising and the number of deaths increasing. It seems like the news is all bad.
Millions of people are filing for unemployment, and no one knows how long “shelter-in-place” policies will last. Governors are demanding ventilators and hospitals.
Through all the noise, President Trump has been talking about how private industry is stepping up to help with the effort to get medical supplies to the places that need them most – like New York City and Los Angeles. Americans should be happy about how the president is handling this aspect of the crisis.
Early on in the crisis, Americans became painfully aware that the majority of our medical supplies were being imported from China, India and other countries, leaving us hanging when those supply chains were interrupted by the spreading coronavirus. We don’t have personal protective equipment for medical personnel. We don’t have enough ventilators if the pandemic continues to escalate.
Of course, the projected models of how many people would be affected were based on a worst-case scenario by Neil Ferguson, an Imperial College London professor. His oft-cited study projected 500,000 dead in the UK and over 2 million in the US if no precautions were taken.
His model with lockdowns and social distancing in place predicts 20,000 deaths in the UK rather than 500,000. (Dr. Ferguson has now tested positive for the virus as has the UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Prince Charles.)
President invokes Defense Production Act with GM
US companies are stepping up without the President having to invoke the Defense Production act. The president has said he is reluctant to force companies into production, though, as of today, he is using the act to force GM to retool to make ventilators.
As usual with “this” General Motors, things just never seem to work out. They said they were going to give us 40,000 much needed Ventilators, “very quickly”. Now they are saying it will only be 6000, in late April, and they want top dollar. Always a mess with Mary B. Invoke “P”.

General Motors MUST immediately open their stupidly abandoned Lordstown plant in Ohio, or some other plant, and START MAKING VENTILATORS, NOW!!!!!! FORD, GET GOING ON VENTILATORS, FAST!!!!!! @GeneralMotors @Ford

American companies produce needed supplies
Some of the many companies that are doing their part to help fight the coronavirus are Ford, General Electric, 3M, CVS, Medtronic, Honeywell, and My Pillow, to name a few.
Some distilleries including Bacardi and Fall Rivers have turned to producing hand sanitizer.
Elizabeth Wright Director of Health and Science Policy at Citizens Against Government Waste pointed out something important about the proper use of the Defense Production Act:
“FEMA has said it does not need the president to enforce the Defense Production Act to secure medical equipment since private industry is escalating production to meet demand. This is not only a tribute to capitalism and patriotism, it is a rebuke to the “restructuring” of the country that House Democrats’ envision as a way to exert greater control over American industry and personal freedoms.
Sean Hannity featured American companies doing their part in a segment on his show recently.

Its ok for the American taxpayers to bail GM out, gm doesn’t want to help americans without being paid top dollars , hope they don’t need help in the future.
I hope people pay attention to how President Trump is handling this crisis! I know they are but, paying attention and noting his words and actions truthfully are two different things, aren’t they? I wonder what it would be like if for even a day the Democrats/Communists in party & media would give our President even a smidgen of credit and courtesy that gave President Obama! They have to hate because he is changing their works to completely change America to Venezuela!
I will never vote for a democrat again as long as I live. They are all lying POS!
Thank you Michael. This is a tough situation and seems like democrats make it even harder!!
Totally agree! The President has the best interest of America at heart. The Dems have the best interest of themselves at heart.
Our President Donald Trump is the best President we ever have. Nancy Pelosi is mad because my GOD is helping our President and HE is going to destroy her and her good friend Schumer and all the other democrats IDIOTS. Praise the LORD, Amen, Alleluia, Lucia Paulazzo
You are a true leader under continued pressure and doing a great job … as a former businessman you lead and bring together for the good of America and all Americans.
Corporations needed to be asked and are proud to help for they will be remembered.
Each day you come before the hated press and painfully get interrogated yes,interrogated. They pride themselves on a ‘gotcha’ moment – don’t deserve the time you give them and so disrespectful!
God put you in at this time and place for HE knew you could handle the job successfully!

Heaven sees all, and has all what each person has been doing. This old grandma N. Pelosi in her 80 yrs old, she doesn’t have much time to renounce Satan whom she is serving. She should just retire and Return and reconcile with The Lord Jesus Christ though her repentance or Confession. No one can be blamed but her self when she’ll land and be put at the hottest corner of 🔥
Mary Kay Inc. will been making disinfectant Products next week!! So proud of our company helping out!!
I love to read your articles, there are very confident, thru the facts, with supporting evidences, even with real comments and commentators that present what is real, not matter who is saying it. That can be a person who doesn’t like the way the current administration in power and his leader President Trump, or somebody who is praising the President all the times, however, if they speak the truth your articles point it out, if they aren’t your articles does it the same as well. I believe that this is the real Journalism. Keep on bringing real journalism, truthful news, and well written articles to comprehend what we need to know.
Trump is doing a fantastic job considering he get’s no help from the DemocRATS. However we cannot leave the economy stay idle for much longer. His idea of restarting it after Easter is good. It can start in selective places where the Corona virus is at a minimum and then expand out once the virus is under control. We need people to be able to go back to work and get the country start producing again. The Congress only understands to throw money at a problem, that’s supposed to solve it and go away. Not this time. Let Trump do what he suggests, he understands business, the politicians do not. He knows best. We have his back.
It seems like the media is quick to blame our president for anything they can possibly make up, but he has done more for this country and our people than any previous president. If you believe Jonathan Cahn (“The Oracle”), President Trump was put in power to serve by divine providence. Whatever, he’s been, and will continue to be, a great president.
Isn’t GM owned by China? For crying out loud they developed and sent the virus around the world and to all the possible opposition countries that would stop their global positioning, world takeovers, world control over trade. If U.S. industry is going to be asked to gear up for the virus fight, let it be U.S. companies, not any with foreign financial involvement. The Chinese don’t care a damm about stopping the virus. they benefit from it. They along with soros, obama, KSA, and the dems are the ones that get the most out of this.
I am proud of American businesses that are stepping up and changing their normal business and fighting this epidemic that we Will conquer with God’s Help & our Presidents beliefs and love for God, Family & Country!! Bless you Mr Donald J. Trump our leader & President!! You are One Tough SOGun for standing up to the Democrats BS & Fake News Media’s lies day after day after day!!!! We True Americans have your back now and 2020 election!!
Trump is a very great commander and chief it makes me proud to be an American also his business savvy is what is keeping America free great job Mr Trump you are a very wise 💪 tactical leader
Pelosi’s strategy of dragging things out is going to backfire big time in November, maybe before. This is one way they can keep everything they do in the headlines. Why? Because they have NOTHING else to offer. Oh yeah, they have Joe Biden in the presidential campaign. Every action they take just means more votes for Donald Trump, who cares about what’s good for America. His actions prove his concern for people, not power.
By the way, since dragging things out is the Dims game, they are proving that they are not working for US, so why not cut out THEIR salaries and bennies, as well as those of their staffs, like the rest of us formerly employed Americans?
I am the co-founder of JustCBD Store brand (justcbdstore.com) and am trying to grow my wholesale side of company. It would be great if anybody at targetdomain give me some advice 🙂 I considered that the very best way to accomplish this would be to reach out to vape companies and cbd stores. I was hoping if anybody at all could suggest a qualified web site where I can get CBD Shops B2B Data I am currently taking a look at creativebeartech.com, theeliquidboutique.co.uk and wowitloveithaveit.com. On the fence which one would be the most suitable option and would appreciate any advice on this. Or would it be simpler for me to scrape my own leads? Ideas?
