It looks like they've just made their first 10 grand!
Ouch. Looks like the only thing about that post that wasn't fake was Gluey taking Ted Cruz's joke and making it look like his own!
It had already been doing the rounds on Reddit as an obvious fake.
We were initially given the impression that it would be almost exclusively that only the old and weak would die but that does not seem to be the case, our UK Government have been shockingly bad at handling this crisis.
While I'm critical of the Government's handling of the crisis, I think it's wrong to say that only the old and weak were expected to die of the virus. The data available from China and places like South Korea and Hong Kong a month or more ago showed that small numbers of younger, seemingly fit, people were dying and I'm not aware of there being much of an increase in the percentage of such people passing away in Europe. Hardly surprisingly, the media concentrate much more on teenagers or younger who die than those five and six times their age, but I've not seen any reporting to say that the percentages are any markedly different from those seen in Asia.
The impression was not all but nearly all, that overwhelming it was the old and those with underlying health problems who were the ones likely to die, the reality now seems to be there a quite a lot of working age people dying, doctors and nurses unfortunately, that was not the picture painted in the early weeks of the outbreak over here.
Possibly it was, but the actual stats were always showing that this wasn't the case. A month or so ago, my impression was that I wouldn't be too worried about the virus from my own point of view if I was in my twenties now, but there would be the nagging thought that I could be one of the unlucky ones in my generation if I caught it and my attitude wouldn't have changed in the mean time.
I've heard it said that consultants and nurses by and large thought it was going to be the old and the weak themselves because they were mislead and they are in the trade so to speak.
It was also implied that herd immunity was going to be the initial way forward as well, that didn't age well either.
Will the 2020 death rate be above or below the 5 year average?
Hell' bells, the WTI crude oil price crashed 19% overnight to stand at what it was 21 years ago at under $15 per barrel.

Current price is down to $13.50 for a 26% intraday drop.
Croesy, out of idle curiosity, do you prefer working from home in your undies to attending an office?
Whether the end of the world is nigh I don't know but the oil price suggests something is seriously amiss. It's now at $11 per barrel and minus 40% on the day.
Gulp.
Oil price is under $5 per barrel - down 73%!
