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

I read Covid 19 is doing more than impacting the past and present, it's now impacting the future.  For the last few months it was said that kids were not in the crosshairs and this virus impacted the elderly and high risk.  Now, that may not be the case.  I don't understand how that narrative was pushed, it was just a matter of time.

I posted a link to a video from a doctor in this thread, way back, when this thing first got started that explained how the virus works. It's process. It's got "50 ways to leave your lover". It isn't just the flu. That it's taking children is in it's DNA...literally. I saw that story on the local news tonight.

It's not a narrative; it's the scientific method. When you're trying to figure out something brand new that no one's ever seen before,  you formulate a hypothesis based on whatever info is available. If you get new data that contradicts that hypothesis, junk it and propose a new one based on the new evidence.

What was meant by narrative was the virus primarily impacted humans as we knew it, which would include kids.  In the early months around Spring break time, it was socialized kids were somewhat bulletproof.  That was another mistake.

They are the people who blow their noses in other peoples shirts, or spit on them, or pull a gun on people, or shoot them, for something simple like being asked to wear a mask when entering private premises.

One of the states that was thought to be a hot spot wasn’t. It was Florida. Remember the spring breakers? The governor targeted the elderly for protection. Why? They’re the most vulnerable. That’s the model I’d follow. Instead they say how wonderful the governor of New York is. Really? His is the last model I’d follow.

Some of those spring breakers caught it and brought it back to their states.  Certainly not as bad as people thought it would be.  I definitely wouldn't follow the NYC model for somewhere with a less dense population.  Different models for different scenarios.  I haven't heard anything about Georgia yet, but I suppose it's too soon to know.

What bothers me most is that people just don't wanna follow the guidelines.  I've got a beautiful park near me that is closed because that towns residents can't seem to follow social distancing guidelines and now their C-19 numbers are spiking again.

Cuomo's nursing home policy has cost a lot of elderly lives in New York. Same thing is happening in MN. 534 deaths, 434 of them in nursing homes. How is this obvious question not being asked. If the governments still have large groups of elderly dying in nursing homes during lock down for 2 months, than how could anyone argue that lock downs have done anything whatsoever for anybody. More evidence that this is a gigantic hoax.

My grandparents' nursing home is in lockdown and, as far as I know, no one there has died of COVID-19. There must be some other factor at play in NY and MN.

So some doctors or scientists made a mistake while they were trying to understand a brand new virus that no one has ever seen before. We're human; get over it.

From what I’m reading. Warm and humid weather no problem. Kills the bug in seconds.

Yes actually there is, Cuomo and the MN governor alike had exec order that said nursing home patients testing positive must be put back in nursing homes, effectively bringing the virus into the facility and killing old people by the dozens. This has been a story all week, but to no surprise its not seen on CNN or MSNBC.

      Gas Prices

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      That sir is a choice. And even if it were not for all the reasons stated, this disruption has zero to do with the reality of the actual logistics and everything to do with the greed of SPECULATION. Spot price is irrelevant to reality.

      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....
