Oil is now trading at $-1.78.  Not sure how they will survive this.

Expand  

 

Last time oil futures were this exciting, JR Ewing was trading them.

 

So what happens if you're stuck with an contract and you don't go pick up your oil on time?

Not sure.  They never discussed this kind of scenario in the CFA curriculum.

 

I'm thinking of putting a few barrels of oil in my garage to make a bit of extra cash.

Hope the worst is over there but those numbers aren't very good.  Tell MIL and FIL to get any exercise they can and take some Zinc and Vitamin D and garlic - it can't hurt.

Well, would ya look at that...

I thought you'd point to more statistics of the near halt of the virus in warm weather states.

 

Remember how Louisiana was going to be the next disaster zone?

 

The data suggests that every state, but CT, NJ & NY should start looking to reopen ASAP.   Build up the herd immunity in advance of the fall season.

That Santa Clara study is getting a lot of crap now. See Hapless’s posts on OTW. 


It’s not working for Sweden any more. They recently passed us on deaths per capita and they are close on cases, and their numbers are on the rise. 


The early PR about how they were living smartly and well was just that. Early PR. 

Expand  

 

their per capita numbers are now similar to US, but they did not lock down

 

seems to be working fine for Sweden

they are much farther in developing herd immunity since they did not lockdown

yet their numbers are no worse than the US which are skewed by the NYC cess pool

It's happened to me before too -- a refresh of the browser usually sorts it for me.

Expand  

This has been a recurring problem for a few weeks.  Works well on a mobile browser but not on my laptop.

Really? Somehow, I thought you might have a clue from the nationally televised conferences they hold everyday to tell you exactly what is being done...

 

Expand  

I’m not referring to myself. I’m referring to the general public that gets their news from the MSM that shouts all the wrong things Trump says and whispers the good.

I bet the mortality rate is nowhere near 1-3%

Expand  

 

A friend of mine told me he knew ten people who had it. Out of the ten 6 died. I’m sure that’s a statistical anomaly but still. It’s frightening.

Why aren't the Chinese being called out for trying to hide this thing.

 

Many people are dying because of the CHINESE............ no one else but them.

 

Again, why aren't they being called out?

Expand  

 

Why? Because they’re not weekend work. That’s why. We only bully the weak.

Sounds solid.

I don't know anyone, who knows anyone that has even tested positive.

Well then consider yourself fortunate, because I know of four people that have it and two of them passed away. The two were elderly.

Gyms would seem to be riskier environments than some.

Yeah, but obesity is supposed to be a terrible preexisting condition for COVID.... need those gyms.

And now, I am off to the freezer for ice cream...
