One month on, there seems little or no progress. Operators with grounded aircraft don't know where they are or what they should do with their fleets. Little from Boeing and absolutely nothing from the FAA. Production is piling up, presumably of complete aircraft built to the old spec with no AoA disagree warning. Only the Ethiopian authorities seem to have made a major announcement.

Boeing said Tuesday that the company’s internal analysis determined that relying on a single source of data was acceptable and in line with industry standards because pilots would have the ability to counteract an erroneous input.
"Industry standards" ? That's surely incorrect. Multiple source and handling of failures/disagree has been normal in this area since the Trident more than half a century ago incorporated a stick pusher based on similar inputs. Airbus likewise.
