Point taken on the rest of your post. Lets move to this then to make sone predictions.
Q2 consists of April, May, June.
So let's see what we have for April:
>50 is expansion, <50 is contraction.

I personally think May will be better but still a contraction though. IMO it will be a miracle if composite PMI for May is >47 and <50
So the last one is June. A bit too far away to speculate but I still think that overall, Q2 will be a contraction or (at best) neutral gdp growth.
Let's mark this as a prediction then. Between contraction and neutral gdp growth I think it will be contraction.
