My understanding is there are no new tubes/screens being produced anywhere. The figure out part is the industrial production, not the technology. But hey, if there are any production lines still in operation I'd be very curious to learn about them.

I remember seeing the news, the last consumer CRT production facility stopped producing around a decade ago, but I'm having trouble finding the article. They're still being produced for commercial uses though (Boeing 747 cockpits use them for example).

I think those are being built out of existing tube stock, I don't know that anybody is making new tubes. But yeah, basically.

There's probably some military shadow contractor in a clandestine factory somewhere...
