All North America plants shut until March 30 (GM also). Sorry for those of you with a GT350 on order or in progress. Hopefully it will not be extended.

All three domestics for that matter. I just haven't seen the "official" FCA release yet. Also Honda. I expect Toyota and Nissan to weigh in soon. Toyota and BMW have already announced shutting down all operations in EU, UK, and in BMW's case, South Africa.

(REUTERS) - FORD MOTOR Co said on Tuesday it does not plan to restart production at its manufacturing plants in the United States, Canada and Mexico on March 30, as was originally planned.

The No.2 U.S. automaker said it was reassessing the timing of resuming production.

It sounds like Ford is doing the right thing to protect the workers by cleaning and disinfecting their plants. If Ford provides their employees with PPE such as rubber gloves ,face masks, and face shields they should be able to provide as safe an environment as the rest of us who work in potentially hazardous areas. Now that Ford is making face shields for the medical care industry , they should be able to provide face shields for their employees too. Full face shield use has kept me safe for years. It is amazing how must spit is emitted from the mouth when a person is just talking. The inside of my face shield is great evidence of that. The use of a face shield prevents other peoples spit from getting virus in the eyes,mouth, and nose. I have talked face to face with coworkers who had a bad cold or flu and not gotten the cold or flu since I started wearing a face shield.
