This was very clarifying and well worth reading. In particular, this part cleared up a mystery for me from other reports…..

To look at immunity takes a while. For example, with swine flu we didn’t really know how many people had been infected for nearly 12 months after the event because you have to give everyone’s immune systems time to respond and it takes weeks before you get that secondary response. What you are looking for in tests to check immunity is for antibodies. There’s an immediate immune response, which says there’s a virus in your cells. From that innate response your body builds on that so that next time you meet the virus you should be immune, but it could be a month down the line before you have a proper IGb (immunoglobulin) response.

They don’t have a choice. They are running out of places to put the oil. Even the ships are filling up. OPEC and allies agree to cut oil production to nearly 10 million barrels a day

Most Interesting Story of the Day: Japan’s winning its quiet fight against Covid-19. Remains to see if it works. Some countries that seemed immune are now having trouble. Still Japan was one of the first nations that was exposed and they are doing everything “wrong” and getting away with it so far.

As usual, this article gives Trump to much credit. Anyone with a working internet connection knows that Chinese and French doctors have been saying this works. That is the entire reason they are doing clinical trials in the first place. So the idea that this is all the fault of Trumps press conference is pure TDS. Pharmacists told ProPublica that they are seeing unusual and fraudulent prescribing activity as doctors stockpile unproven coronavirus drugs endorsed by President Donald Trump.

This seems kind of strange for a nation that supposedly only has 700 some confirmed cases. With a heavy heart, two more Metro Manila hospitals stop admission of COVID-19 patients as they reach ‘full capacity’

Saudi Arabia’s state-run company will increase its production by 300,000 barrels per day. Russia has reacted by stating it might mirror Saudi Arabia’s increase, despite OPEC hoping for a decrease in output.
