Trump just revealed why he has not yet invoked the Defense Production Act. He said, "It's a great point of leverage. It's a great negotiating tool."

That is not what the act is for!
He also said that Gov Cuomo said that he feels Trump is using the act "appropriately" and that Como would understand because "he understands negotiations."
We need to know WHAT he's demanding from states and other countries? before giving them federal aid.

To me, this approval drop is mostly a testament about the power of Fox News, which did not shy away from criticizing Senator Burr. /1
Burr's stock selloffs really do look bad, but there WAS public reporting on the severity of the #COVID19 pandemic at the time.

Burr sold his stocks on Feb 13.

Here is a tweet from a #coronavirus expert on that very day. /2

I'm not trying to excuse Burr or others - just saying there is certainly reasonable doubt.

My big point is that all it took to tank Burr's approval was one day of bad Fox News press.

Imagine what could happen if Fox would drop the firewall they provide for Donald Trump. /3x

Ford is planning to assemble more than 100,000 face shields per week and use its in-house 3D printing to make components for personal protective equipment.

Story also says they're working on ventilators but doesn't give timetable on production.

wnem.com/news/ford-work…
"The first 1,100 will be tested this week at Detroit Mercy, Henry Ford Health System, and Detroit Medical Center Sinai-Grace Hospitals."
"We’ve been in regular dialogue with federal, state and local officials to understand the areas of greatest needs. We are focusing our efforts to help increase the supply of respirators, face shields and ventilators" - Jim Hackett, Ford’s president and CEO.

Alvi is ordered by Bajwa's boss to report in China. Befitting to his stature, he was received by a junior minister. Qureshi, who never missed an opportunity for a free trip followed him, only to contract the virus. After Pinki and Bibi Bajwa, Qureshi joined the queue.
A jealous Immu declared Kamal is the best CM and not Murad even though Kamal locked himself in Bela. After Taftan firing backfired, Pakistan decided to place them on Indian border and provoke Indian Army around them.
Never to miss a chance to beg, Immu has begged the world to write off all the loans Pakistan has got. There is a serious debate going on over who is the bigger fool - Qadri or Immu. And PSL still goes on, infecting people.

Alameda County, California (where I land several other million people live) has announced a "shelter in place" order effective midnight tonight. Here's a link to the order, and some thoughts on it in a thread. acphd.org/media/559658/h…
The basic idea: STAY AT HOME! You can only leave your home, or keep an out-of-the-home business running, in a few specific situations. It applies for the next three weeks.
Here's some of the key language. Really, stay at home. Don't get together with people outside your home (no playdates for kids, parents). No trips unless it's for a specific allowed purpose. Really REALLY stay at home, with the other people who live with you. STAY HOME.
