General Motors is considering retooling its shuttered production lines to make ventilators and other needed medical equipment to respond to the coronavirus pandemic

General Motors is studying whether to retool its shuttered production lines to make ventilators and other needed medical equipment to respond to the coronavirus pandemic, company officials said Wednesday.

The U.S. faces a shortage of life-saving ventilators if patients infected with Covid-19, a respiratory disease caused by the coronavirus, overwhelm U.S. hospitals. White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow said Wednesday that he was in touch with leaders of two of the three major U.S. automakers. Ford and Fiat Chrysler also said they would suspend production of automobiles until at least March 30.

Tools. This is just a lousy publicity stunt. Shame on you GM

RussCanRead That's a good idea since people aren't buying cars. Maybe they could make no frills cars selling for $10,000 or less, including the Spark EV

SharylAttkisson Ummmm wat

That's good. Make sure you protect your workers!

Considering?

Wow!

Unless they're already almost finished retooling, it's too late.
