The Supercar Registry - You Can't Make This Stuff Up!

As expected, the weekend domestic theatrical box office tanked as exhibitors limited seating capacity and local governments called for no large group gatherings in an effort to thwart the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19).

With studios scaling back new releases such as Disney’s Mulan and Paramount Pictures’ The Quiet Place Part II, among others, the North American box office tallied just $55.3 million — the worst total in nearly two decades, according to ComScore.

I guess when the Ides Of March fall on a Sunday, they carry over to Monday. Sheesh! When is this going to end?

EDIT: 8 minutes later:

And another 7 minutes. Guess the "circuit breakers" took effect than trading resumed

Four Ways Experts Say Coronavirus Nightmare Could End

Quote:

Dr. William Haseltine, president of the global health think tank ACCESS Health International who recently chaired the U.S.-China Health Summit in Wuhan, where the virus likely originated, has a theory.

“There are four ways,” he told The Daily Beast. “One, it peters out with the weather. Two, everybody gets infected, so it’s got no new places to go... so it ends—but that’s a pretty horrible ending. Three is a vaccine, which is about a year away. Fourth way is the most likely: We’re going to have a few drugs, within a few weeks to a few months, that prevent people from getting infected—like PrEP for HIV—and for treatment.”

Let’s break those down.

NEW JERSEY — In an unprecedented step to try and stop the spread of coronavirus, Gov. Phil Murphy announced a statewide curfew for all residents and businesses.

According to the governor, businesses must close at 8:00 p.m. and New Jersey residents should not leave their homes from 8:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m.

Additionally, all casinos, restaurants, bars, movie theaters and gyms must shut down at 8:00 p.m. and will remain closed until further notice in New Jersey as well as New York and Connecticut. This was announced by the governors of all three states on Monday.

In New Jersey, nearly 100 people have tested positive for COVID-19 and at least two have died.

“I saw too many videos last night of packed bars, people passing bottles drinking from the same bottle, literally on top of each other,” Murphy said Sunday, after saying he was considering the curfew. “In short of shutting the entire state down, clipping establishments by a number of hours each night in particular we believe will have a meaningful, positive outcome in terms of social distancing.”

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention also say gatherings of 50 people or more should not take place for the next eight weeks, excepting businesses or schools.

Municipalities have also begun taking various steps on their own to try last week to slow down the spread. Millburn has closed down the schools for online learning, and will be postponing non-essential township meetings

So I am thinking the rarest 1968 GTO would be one with the chrome front bumper and the 400/2BBL Turnpike Cruiser option. Maybe count em on one hand.

Regeneron aims to have coronavirus antibody treatment ready for human testing by early summer

Quote:

Biotech giant Regeneron said it aims to have doses of a potential drug for COVID-19 ready to start human clinical trials by early summer.

The approach involves creating antibodies to the virus that could be used to treat the disease and to prevent it, Regeneron said in a statement Tuesday.

The company had previously said it aimed to have hundreds of thousands of doses ready for human testing in late summer, so the new goal is a significant acceleration. Regeneron said it plans to start large-scale manufacturing by the middle of next month and still plans to ramp up to hundreds of thousands of preventive doses a month by the end of summer.

The Kennedy Limo was built by the Hess-Eisenhardt company, which has roots back to the late 1860's.

It still operates today under the O'Gara group, building armored vehicles in limousine and military vehicle form.

I suspect most of you already know this car still exists and resides in the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn Mi.

Why you should stop wearing your rings and watches (wedding bands included) during the coronavirus outbreak

Quote:

Wearing rings and watches could make it difficult to thoroughly wash your hands and remove germs during the coronavirus outbreak.

If you don't want to temporarily stop wearing them, take off your rings and wash them with warm water and soap every time you wash your hands.

A 2018 study from researchers at Georgia State University found that when healthcare providers wore rings to their jobs, the area where the rings sat on their skin provided "a protected area in which bacteria can flourish," the researchers wrote. They also found that people who didn't wear rings and washed their hands were able to kill more bacteria than those who wore rings.

"Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said Tuesday that millionaires would not be getting the checks. A Democratic proposal from Rep. Tim Ryan (D-Ohio) and Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) would give at least $1,000 to everyone making less than $65,000. They point out about 75 percent of Americans would qualify.

A Democratic plan from Senators Michael F. Bennet of Colorado, Cory Booker of New Jersey and Sherrod Brown of Ohio, would go even further. It provides $2,000 for every American adult and child plus another $1,500 check in the summer and $1,000 check in the fall, if the public health emergency continues. The highest income earners would not get checks under the Democratic plan."
