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

I am surprised they have not blinked yet. I don’t know what they think they are accomplishing. They can make every US shale producer go bankrupt but that will not make the tech or the people who know how to do it go away. Saudi Power Play Could Send Oil Below $20 a Barrel for an Extended Period
The bottom line is that most US masks are being sold outside of this country because they can get a better price that way due to US polices. I Spent A Day In The Coronavirus-Driven Feeding Frenzy Of N95 Mask Sellers And Buyers And This Is What I Learned And here is more along the same lines.

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.
This is what panic breeds, not that fear is valid excuse. Spanish Military Finds Dead Bodies And Seniors ‘Completely Abandoned’ In Care Homes
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’
Read the Banned Article
I posted a link to this article yesterday but it got taken down because this type of information has been determined to be bad by the mob. You can read it here if you did not get to read it yesterday. It is disgusting that stuff like this is determined too dangerous for people to read.
For what it is worth this is they guy who seems most responsible for taking the article down. Some of his complaints are legitimate, but mostly it reads like he did not understand what he was reading. The parts of the article that I thought were the strongest and most well documented are the parts he avoided addressing. Mostly he seems to have an issue with the modeling and modeling something this unknown is a crap shoot no matter who does it. The optimistic models don’t account for Italy (and most likely other places) and the pessimistic models don’t have a good explanation for Africa, Japan, Russia, and a number of other places.
