Russia is ready to hold constructive talks aimed at stabilizing the oil market, and those talks don’t have alternative.

Russia did not support the end of the OPEC+ deal, Peskov told Russian television channel Rossiya 24 on Sunday. President Putin and Russia as a whole are inclined to take part in a constructive negotiation process –which doesn’t have alternative right now – to stabilize the international energy market, Peskov added. Saudi Arabia, Russia, and many other oil producers were set to video-meet on Monday to discuss ways of supporting collapsing oil prices by potentially cutting 10 million bpd, or even 15 million bpd, of global oil production. Over the weekend, however, Saudi Arabia and Russia traded accusations, claiming that the other was the reason the OPEC+ pact collapsed last month, widening the rift between the two former allies and leading to a postponement of the Monday meeting to Thursday, April 9. Putin said last week that Saudi Arabia’s oil price war and its readiness to offer steep discounts for its oil targeted to bankrupt U.S. shale. Saudi Arabia responded to that by accusing Russia of breaking up the OPEC+ coalition last month. The words attributed to Putin by media are “fully devoid of truth,” Saudi Minister of Foreign Affairs, Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud, said in a statement. “The withdrawal of the kingdom from the agreement is not correct, but that Russia was the one that refused the agreement, while the Kingdom and 22 other countries were trying to persuade Russia to make further cuts and extend the agreement, yet Russia has not agreed,” the official Saudi Press Agency quoted the Saudi foreign minister as saying. Meanwhile, both Saudi Arabia and Russia signal that while they are ready to talk potential production cuts, they would consider doing so only if major producers from outside the OPEC+ format, including the United States, join such cuts.

FEARS have been raised that the coronavirus may be able to remain in the body and “reactivate” later after 51 recovered patients tested positive again.  

The patients, from the city of Daegu, South Korea, had all spent time in quarantine while recovering from the virus, but were diagnosed again within days of being released. South Korea has been among the most successful countries globally in controlling the outbreak, using strict quarantining and widespread testing to slow its spread of the virus. The number of new cases being diagnosed each day in the country is now at levels last seen as the pandemic was getting underway in February. The 51 cases were identified as part of a study conducted in Daegu, the epicentre of the outbreak in South Korea, by a team of epidemiologists from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The center said it did not believe the patients had been reinfected, but that the virus had remained at undetectable levels in their cells and later “reactivated”.

The center said it did not believe the patients had been reinfected, but that the virus had remained at undetectable levels in their cells and later “reactivated”. The claim runs contrary to the bulk of current evidence about how the virus works.  Paul Hunter, an infectious diseases professor at the University of East Anglia, said: “I agree that these will not be reinfections but I do not think these will be reactivations.  Nick Note: This virus is a living entity contrary to scientific myth (remember these were the same people at one time claimed the earth is flat). Viruses are the most misunderstood life form on the planet. The most dangerous of the dangerous are  the RNA variety. Once you accept that viruses are living orgasms and they have the ability to evolve (mutate) faster then any other life form you can grasp the complexity of the problem. The Rino Virus (common cold) has never been defeated.  This Cornonavirus will be a circulating Plague coming back over and over again. The old, weak, infirmed and Stupid will be culled. The worst of the economic effects are already in the market. When the new outbreaks come quarantines will go into effect again. People will soon get use to it. Business models will adjust to the home office, peopless robot factories . The office especially the cubical’s from hell are gone. Theaters and sports stadiums will be abandoned like the Colosseum in Rome. Sports will be streamed live. The mall, strip center,  Department and grocery stores, bars and restaurants (except for home delivery) will dry up and blow away. Shaking hands and hugging strangers will go the way of the peace pipe and communal cup.

Dow spikes more than 1,600 points as markets rebound Monday U.S. financial markets spiked Monday, likely on hopes that the COVID-19 outbreak was nearing its peak in certain parts of the U.S. The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed up by 1,627 points or 7.7%. The S&P 500 spiked 7% and the Nasdaq was up 7.3%. In New York — the state hit hardest by the pandemic — Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Monday that the rate of death has been “effectively flat for two days.” Cuomo said the total number of hospitalizations, ICU admissions and daily intubations are down, which “suggest a possible flattening of the curve.” While New York may have reached the apex of coronavirus infections, what happens next “still depends on what we do,” Cuomo added.
One of the best performers for the Dow Monday was Boeing, which saw double-digit gains. Monday’s rally comes after weeks of steep losses as the coronavirus-induced sell-off continues on Wall Street. Fiat-Chrysler Automobiles plans to restart U.S. manufacturing operations on May 4 The automaker announced Monday it intends to “progressively restart its U.S. and Canadian manufacturing facilities beginning May 4.”
“During this current production pause, we are working with government officials and our unions to implement new procedures to certify the daily wellness of our workforce while also redesigning work stations to maintain proper social distancing and expanding the already extensive cleaning protocols at all locations,” FCA said in a statement. It emphasized that it will only restart operations with “safe, secure and sanitized workplaces to protect all of our employees.” FCA is one of the first automakers to announce plans to re-open manufacturing facilities in the U.S. that have been shuttered as a result of the pandemic. Nick Note: The bottom is in. And you will see the biggest fastest rally EVER. And you will regret all the days of your life if you do not get your share of the millions to be made.

 

U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson is in intensive care in a London hospital with COVID-19, officials said on Monday, one day after Johnson was admitted to the hospital with persistent symptoms of the coronavirus. Johnson was the first world leader to test positive for the coronavirus on March 27. “Over the course of this afternoon, the condition of the prime minister has worsened and, on the advice of his medical team, he has been moved to the intensive care unit at the hospital,” a spokesperson said. The Prime Minister is reportedly conscious and the decision was taken as a precaution in case he needs ventilation. Officials had earlier said Johnson was only taken to hospital as a “precautionary step” on Sunday, and would continue to lead the British government. He has nominated Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab to deputize for him “where necessary,” a spokesperson said. “Last night, on the advice of my doctor, I went into hospital for some routine tests as I’m still experiencing coronavirus symptoms,” Johnson tweeted from the hospital earlier on Monday, before being admitted to intensive care. “I’m in good spirits and keeping in touch with my team, as we work together to fight this virus and keep everyone safe.” Johnson is not the only top British government official to be infected with COVID-19. His Health Secretary, Matt Hancock, also has the disease, along with his top advisor Dominic Cummings. His Chief Medical Officer, Chris Whitty, recently returned to work after self-isolating with symptoms of the disease. And Johnson’s pregnant fiancée, Carrie Symonds, said she has been suffering with symptoms of COVID-19 for the past week. Nick Note: See their is a GOD and he is sovereign… Boris just thought he was god….

Nick Note: With so many people on lockdown internet usage has soared. The ugly truth is internet providers have sold far far more bandwidth then they  can deliver. Now its the nut cutting. Our concern is the fact that the internet brokers are seeing their systems crash on high volume days and US banks are seeing system outages on their payment systems especially their credit cards. The master card and Visa system itself seems to be rock solid. The Credit card companies have invested billions in automated systems. Unfortunately US banks delayed the investment because it was a capital expense they could not amortize against a profit center. In other words they all ready are feeing you to death. So upgrading the system would not make them any more money

 

Nick Note: With many people sick or under quarantine systems are failing. As i predicted. Having been off the grid and on internet fiber backbone via satellite I know a thing or two about this. I urged you to get a VSAT or Huges net satellite for your home. Like the Medicines some listened some did not. If you did not take  this seriously maybe you should now.  Maybe its time  you should listen to your expert!
