I’m wondering. Remember H1-N1? Mass hysteria? Stock Market going crazy? Who’s going to make money? Who’s pushing the most hysteria?

I work in a gov't office in a secret underground undisclosed location, as they say.  No, really.  We received a briefing from an epidemiologist in Washington State.  He said that if you put someone in

Interesting presser last night. It was short to the point and done just like the complainers said they wanted. The results the complainers complained it was short to the point and no questions. The conclusion, their not really interested in information. Just ammunition. Relax take a Lysol bath, under your U.V. lights. Don’t forget your rubbing alcohol on ice.

So the next phase. The bug appears to be more widespread as originally thought. I said so, judging by the crowds at grocery stores early on. It appears to be more infectious less lethal than original thought. While the experts begin to protect their rear ends. Some wise people are starting to say opps we may have over sold this pandemic. We’ll know in the next few weeks as antibody testing expands. I called it, it’s all in this thread. I guess I can’t blame them too much. Well, maybe.

Here’s the two schools of thought. We did an incredible job of isolation. Disregarding maradi gras in New Orleans. And the run on grocery stores early on all over. That train of thought would mean when we open. We’re in for a wave like the first one. Or the bug was here earlier. Infected many people. Most were carriers didn’t get sick. And some mildly so. We know the extreme cases. The pendulum seems to be switching to the second school of thought.

Drop the political name calling.....  You can make your point without it. If you can't then you have little to say

Learned something new this weekend. Most cases of covo 19 infections happen indoors. I don’t know how they know that. So the first thing they do is close all outdoor activity’s. The second maybe more of a gray area. If a person passed in the last few months and had covo 19 antibodies. Coronavirus was listed as the cause. Probably true in some areas. One thing most people realize if you have any underlying issues. Most any illnesses added to the mix can kill you. So most people effected still being reported are older people. All the usual things that afflicts people are way up. The cause, isolation. Be patient the smart people will be back in charge soon.

The US gov put out an "idea or plan of consideration" for reopening the economy.  Got it, folks have to get to work and make a living.  It's understandable why we see states reopening the way they interpret their local data or other reasons.  To decrease confusion, there should have been "hard" guidelines from the federal gov on preconditions for reopening, the "Guidelines for Opening Up America Again" is just a proposal.  There are some states opening that have an increase of cases vs the 14 day proposed federal gov decrease.  Tennessee and Georgia come to mind.

The pandemic was designated as a war, responsibility can't be delegated or relinquished.  Doctors and media are not in charge.

Really? Doctors told Trump many will die you need to isolate. If Trump didn’t the media would have said Trump doesn’t care about the elderly and sick. The Democrats,we need to impeach, Trump kills American citizens. Trump isolates. Now it’s becoming apparent many people were infected. Maybe isolation wasn’t needed for everyone. Just the older people with underlying conditions. So yes doctors and the media are still in charge for now.

      Gas Prices

      What I think you're saying is there is supply here at home, and in Venezuela, and we could ease pricing if only it were favorable to do so.   Well, yes?   But that's not the current market. Supply isn't what could someday exist, if only, it's what producers are willing to produce and sell at a certain price point.   The national price of single family homes would come way down if we'd just slap together a few million homes this summer.   RAM and GPUs would get a lot cheaper if we just set up some factories to produce a bunch more and stopped using it to build out AI data centers.

      The turn signal/multifunction switch is faulty.  I've seen a few of these go bad at work.

      If we actually used any significant amount of that source in the USA then I'd agree but we don't. We've had that discussion before. We drill and pump more than we use. Thing is, we sell. We export. Gas and Crude. It's more profitable so any shortage here is self inflicted and LEGAL.    I worked a gas plant that has multiple fuel sources available and I worked in the furnace and boiler plant in that facility. I'd had days we swapped fuel types four times in a twelve hour shift which isn't done on supply but on margin. Two of the fuel sources are internally generated. Tail gas and DAK, both of which are sold as well a consumed. We always had more than we needed to run the process but we chose the fuel that produced the best margin not bought at the cheapest price always. A good bit of math to that and back in the time that was done on a slide rule.     I worked the Shale Oil Semiworks of Chevron Research and CONOCO Research in Salt Lake City. That process never went into production although it was very successful. Why? Did we lack oil bearing shale? Nope. Price of crude never made the margins work. That was in the late 70's early 80's. Remember history? What was happening then was a reaction to that situation. It didn't drive it. If so then it's easy. This isn't a supply and demand thing. This is a profit and margin thing and AI rules that now.    In no refining situation that I was ever in would a bomb hitting a well anywhere in the world 'instantly' interrupt or even distress the supply. Most plants have more than a months worth of crude in the tank field and more in pumping stations. That yo-yo could play out over days, weeks and maybe months and have zero impact on plant operations. How many times has this been off and on in the last few months? These people and not stupid. These plants measure down time in hundreds of thousands of dollars per day. They are not sucking fumes or waiting on the next truckload with baited breath. Besides, as I noted, they are for the most part 'vertically integrated'. They own it from the dirt is sits in to the delivery rack and sometimes to the pump. It has a HUGE shock absorber built in. When production suffers, refining wins and when refining is winning exploration is killing. The rest of that crap in the news is a 'news cycle'. Government dipping in to reserves? Oil is stealing their milk money. There's a reason Chevron abandon Venezuela infrastructure and it had nothing to do with security of US citizens. Nationals run those plants. it has to do with MARGINS disappearing to corruption. They are in no hurry to return. Is there supply there? Oh yea. More than enough to offset what is bought in the middle east. Just isn't ???? Profitable.    We have supply. There are places in Illinois you can drive a pipe into the ground and run your homes natural gas furnace on it.    A refinery fire will gum up the supply works but not a localized war where the market is using a limited supply from. Now Europe, that's something other....
