Interactive Real Time Map of COVID-19

While COVID-19 has nothing to do explicitly with Textron, it does have much to do with the state of the world economy, stock valuations and Textron's future sales. Will fear of crowds lead to greater private  aircraft sales, or less because businesses are in recession?

That groups of protestors and the White House are trying to force the country to "open for business" without widespread testing, a vaccine or effective treatment will kill more Americans, leave more Americans grieving and slow the economic recovery.

Korea "each had their first confirmed case of coronavirus around Jan 20 ... each had their first death in late February". But "from the beginning, S.
