    With the price of oil declining because of falling demand, OPEC held a meeting last Friday where it was expected members would agree to cut production to try and halt the drop by lowering supply. Russia unexpectedly refused and the oil price caved almost 10%. In response Saudi Arabia announced it will ramp up production while offering deep price discounts to damage Russia's finances, as well as its own and all other oil producers, in the hope they're forced back to the table. From what I've read the WTI oil price currently at $42 per barrel will head to as low as $20.

    Below is what the Italian government decreed this morning for the Lombardy region (population 16 million) and some other areas. It seems as if most workplaces will remain open. The bars and restaurants restriction is a bit of a head scratcher, will the distance between people be enforced by busybodies using a measuring stick?

    https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/

    ITALIAN EMERGENCY MEASURES
    16 days after the beginning of the outbreak, the Italian government took decree today to take exceptional measures to contain about 16 million Italians living in 14 provinces in the north of the country, as well as restrictive measures covering the whole country. [source]

    When Bill Gates has the Vaccine,
    Would you take it if it was advised by WHO/ Governments that everyone should be immunised etc.?
    although at an age where FLU jabs are kinda recommended, I don't have them but it's because there
    is advice not to have it if you have suffered from Guillan-Barre syndrome which I did when 24 years young.

    China has started to destroy currency to stop the virus spreading. Just mentioning it as no doubt in future they'll be printing more, and our friend Organ will pounce.

    Getting a bit tired of hearing the phrase underlying health conditions in every Comms that comes out as if it was inevitable these people die so who cares. Carefully designed to give the majority feelings of invincibility.

    831 in critical care in Italy, we ordinarily have around 800 vacant beds in ICU at any given time so where those 31 would go isn't clear.

    My venerable and esteemed colleague Wales-Bales and I are of the opinion that this virus hysteria's being pushed so extraordinary hard is for it to be used as the pretext for a planned global economic collapse.

    The pitiful number of fatalities is ample evidence of how overblown it is.

    Those desperate to believe the scary narrative are reduced to pointing to the number of lock-downs rather than concede they've been suckered.

    Suckered? You have been on here week in week out predicting an imminent collapse for as long as I can remember. It is no wonder that you think people are blowing this virus out of proportion when in your universe we are always just days away from the complete breakdown of society.

    It's almost as though you want people to die to prove a point, and it's not really a good look.

    Things are much clearer across the pond where the Democrats and their media stooges are singing in unison.

    I said it's not serious at this point in time. People are becoming hysterical about what may or may not happen. It's the Y2K bug all over again.

    You can't seriously believe that is a good example! We spent years and billions across the world pre-emptively correcting weaknesses in all sorts of systems to mitigate the effects of y2k. It's a bit different to 'wash your hands' and 'please can you stay inside if you are ill'.
