Oh, absolutely. Saw Click today on BBC. Some really, really great innovations about building respirators there, reminding me of how the engineers adapted a heath-robinson design for the filters on Apollo 13. But that was needed two months ago. As for getting Ford, Boeing and Nissan to build the same respirators they have now (at £10k a pop)… Saw a guy on Bloomberg saying the first respirators won't roll off until June.

Exactly !!
It's been interesting listening to Scientists , infectious specialists etc In the past couple of weeks .
Saying that various groups ,universities and the like have been warning the worlds governments for a long time to be prepared for such an event .
They all say that its met with universal disbelief .
This will happen in the near future again .

Anyone been to a supermarket over the last few days, just wondering what it's like out there?

Rickmansworth and Northwood are pretty good
The supermarkets and even some garages have Security guards and people are let in and out one at a time, no jostling or surging and plenty on the shelves

There's a great little documentary on Netflix about exactly that. Ironically set in New York it shows the leading scientist at the organisation there sealing with potential pandemics dealing with exactly that. Made a year ago iirc. Each episode is only about 15 mins, about 6 episodes, and very good. I was thinking while watching it, I bet she's right at the forefront of it now.

The worst thing is he will still claim victory when it's over and half the country (that's still alive) will lap it up.

No doubt .
He constantly creates a them versus us attitude .
He is massively decisive with any deviation from his way of thinking being dismissed as Fake ,
He as got half of America looking upon the Democrats as Communist and an attack on America .
His ego just gets inflated by the day .
How the **** Pence can stand there with a straight face shocks me he is just as bad .
Trumps daily briefings just end up with digs in his adversarial battle .
