From a facebook site called "Beautiful Italy" that unfortunately these days has to deal with the current ongoing tragedy. He was the first to donate. First to close all his stores. Now Giorgio Armani, this Italian giant, has decided to go beyond imagination. His Group has just announced the immediate conversion of all its Italian fashion factories into the production of disposable scrubs for all hospitals and healthcare workers at the forefront of the fight against Coronavirus. Like in war. Armani has signed some of the most extraordinary dresses in the world in over half a century, but this simple work coat is in absolute the most beautiful and important ever left a factory. There are no words left to define this man, except a huge, infinite Thank you. ~ L. Tosa ~ ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2020/03/31/ga.png)

Some better news from Italy.
In the whole of Italy, and particularly in Lombardia, the curve of new contagions and hospitalisations has flattened over the last week and started to drop over the last 3 days.
It is not the end of the pandemic by any means but it is showing some light at the end of the tunnel.

The most encouraging news yesterday was the involvement of the F1 teams in re-engineering an oxygenation valve in 100hours, which can be produced now at 300 units per day, and quickly become 1000 units per day. It will sustain life outside the ICUs.
That made me feel more positive. No companies are better prepared to do rapid design and build than the F1 engineers.

You will note that Total new cases and Total new deaths are continuing to fall in Italy. This seems to show that we are gaining ground but we need to guard against complacency. We can only hope that other countries which are behind us on the curve have learned from what has happened in Italy.
Take care out there.
