The good news is that today in the very first contract made under the Defense Production Act GM was ordered to make 30,000 ventilators for $489.4 million. The bad news is they won't be ready until late August. Pity this was done on April 8 not January 8. Meanwhile as of 19:17 GMT 14,369 Americans have died of COVID-19 and at its rate of increase in a few hours it will overtake Spain and become #2 in the total death count category. It won't take long for the USA to overtake Italy and become #1 because Italy's death count is now only doubling every 2 weeks, but the USA's death count is still doubling every 4 days.
