I know it's hope for the best and prepare for the worst yet this whole thing seems to be a bit of an overreaction. To the shortsighted. Those who try and compare it to the flu and ignore how quickly it can overwhelm health systems in other countries and the only effective way to stop it has been total lockdown. Here, the smart states like my Ohio will try partial lockdown in hopes of avoiding a full lockdown to flatten the infection curve. Proud of DeWine for leading the way on this. Not sure it's enough but it's early in the infection curve, so it will hopefully work. My ER docs haven't seen an influx of Covid patients, so that's really good considering most times (H1N1, etc) they're treating for a couple weeks before it makes the papers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That seems odd since DeWine stated they believed at least 100,000 people in Ohio were infected with the disease and that it would double every six days. Seems like you would be seeing an influx, no?

Tiberius Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 Trumps press conference was unbelievable. He won’t get tested, or he might, even though he should. They were all gathered there close together, all breathing into the same ? shaking hands and making up more lies. Trump is unfit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, shut down a country over a virus you probably don't know you have unless a test tells you so. Hard to overrun the healthcare system when the symptoms are so mild most people don't know they have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The National Emergency is a natural by product of how things have progressed. It doesn't equal hysteria. However, none of that had to do with your original post that I responded to. Your rambling on and on about Trump being unfit because he hasn't been tested is what I was referring to. Of course, you know that. In typical fashion, when you have nothing substantive to say or cannot intellectually defend yourself, you divert the topic... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TPS Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 2 hours ago, dubs said: Last weekend Russia and MBS actions threatened to tank the US shale oil producers amid this Coronavirus crisis. It still could have a serious impact if oil prices stay under $35/barrel for very long. Wonder if that was just an isolated situation or if we start seeing other seemingly unrelated actions that hurt the US economy. That is one sector of the economy. Don't ignore the positive effects of lower prices on the consumers of petroleum products, which is much larger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trump emerges as oil's white knight after worst week since 2008 Crude prices have fallen to record lows By Suzanne O'HalloranFOXBusiness The battered U.S. oil market may have just received a lifeline from President Trump after crude prices posted the worst week since 2008 hugging the $31 per barrel level, down 48 percent so far this year. Trump, as part of his national emergency declaration to combat the fallout from the coronavirus, greenlighted the Department of Energy to step into the market as a buyer. “Based on the price of oil I have also instructed the Secretary of Energy to purchase, at a very good price, for large quantities of crude oil for storage in the U.S. Strategic Reserve, we are going to fill it right up to the top, saving the American taxpayer billions and billions of dollars and helping our oil industry,” Trump stated on Friday. The move, according to Phil Flynn of The PRICE Futures Group, should boost oil prices from historic lows. “This could send prices back into the $40s if the buyers are there,” said Flynn, who is also a FOX Business contributor, when reached for his reaction. “They [the U.S.] can buy oil at the lowest price in years,” he added. The Strategic Petroleum Reserve is the world’s largest supply of emergency crude oil, as described by the DOE, and was established as a backup facility to protect the U.S. in the event of market disruptions or potential shortages. https://www.foxbusiness.com/markets/oil-market-gets-white-knight-after-worst-week-since-2008 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
