Jimarillo, do you know if other 2020 Namibia drills remain on track considering Covid-19 and POO
The CEO of PCL said Venus will be spud in April, however the Voyager will be spudding a well in April but will be the second well in Angola and then Venus 1, which is looking like June according to AOI

The recruitment link said "Due to travel restrictions", previous ad's were including S/A, who are in lock down form mid night to night for 21 days. Suggests they need personnel within that time
Drillers have to use a percentage of locals .....where possible
If the above is correct we should have news on the up coming well fairly soon
Here is unexpected rig available in June ..... Maersk drillship’s gig with Tullow cut short
Could be an opportunity for Seapulse to drill earlier this year

From the PCL bb, Ernest Anthony Myers PCL CEO confirms Venus 1 will spud by the end of April??
AEC are to drill 3 wells around the Brulpadda discovery and one well in block 2B with Azinam, all in S/Africa
The first three will be drilled possibly Q2 with the Deepsea Stavenger and the 2B is in the Orange Basin by Q4 and is also a previous discovery. This well could be drilled with a drillship or even a jack-up rig, water depth only 50-200 meters
Mmm, just found this - Africa Energy plans four wells this year
https://www.energyvoice.com/oilandgas/africa/230623/africa-energy-plans-four-wells-this-year/
Yep, I agree. The figures remain up in the air regarding the virus due to lack of testing.
Another ad for South African workers on a drillship. Namibia being a small population probably doesn't have many offshore workers ,so proobably have to get their local percentage from next door.
Having said that if this rig is for S/A, it is quite possible for it to be drilling in the Orange Basin, which will also have some interest

The trouble is most of the people tested have been ill in hospital, therefore the percentage rate will be high
“Globally, about 3.4% of reported COVID-19 cases have died. By comparison, seasonal flu generally kills far fewer than 1% of those infected.”
https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/coronavirus-death-rate/
Swamp the health services and that rate will dramatically increase.
Data is now suggesting that Covid-19 has a CFR (Crude Case Fatality Rate) of just 0.05%.
Seasonal flu has a CFR of 0.1%.
So this new data is suggesting that Covid-19 is half as dangerous as Flu.
If you take a very rough calculation and say 27,000 Italians die of flu and 15,000 in England die of flu every year then :
Italy should see around 13,500 deaths before it blows over.
England (not UK) should see 7,500 deaths before it blows over.
Has the world gone mad over a virus thats less dangerous than Seasonal Flu ?
Interesting times ahead.
The Argentinean virologist and biochemist Pablo Goldschmidt explains that Covid19 is no more dangerous than a bad cold or the flu. It is even possible that the Covid19 virus circulated already in earlier years, but wasn’t discovered because no one was looking for it. Dr. Goldschmidt speaks of a „global terror“ created by the media and politics. Every year, he says, three million newborns worldwide and 50,000 adults in the US alone die of pneumonia.
https://www.clarin.com/buena-vida/coronavirus-panico-injustificado-dice-virologo-argentino-francia_0_yVcmJ4RM.html
German immunologist and toxicologist, Professor Stefan Hockertz, explains in a radio interview that Covid19 is no more dangerous than influenza (the flu), but that it is simply observed much more closely. More dangerous than the virus is the fear and panic created by the media and the „authoritarian reaction“ of many governments. Professor Hockertz also notes that most so-called „corona deaths“ have in fact died of other causes while also testing positive for coronaviruses. Hockertz believes that up to ten times more people than reported already had Covid19 but noticed nothing or very little.

I agree with what you are saying , no one wants to be in the minority of the vunerable, but that is the same whether it is regular flu or CV. It is just life
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/asia/china-coronavirus-wuhan-update-cases-hubei-covid-19-a9410581.html
Full Lockdown, short term pain followed by recovery. China has shown the way.
Even if this is correct than you don’t want to be in the minority! What people are not understanding is that many who become ill requiring ventilators go on to survive. Swamp the medical services and there simply won’t be enough personnel or equipment to save those lives and the death rate will dramatically increase. It will become a lottery as to who gets a ventilator and who does not. Tens of thousands, old, young, ill or otherwise healthy people will die. That’s you, me, mum, dad, daughter, son, grandchild, friend.
The world has shut down for very good reason and peeps need to adhere or they themselves could easily become a victim.
The new coronavirus may already have infected far more people in the UK than scientists had previously estimated — perhaps as much as half the population — according to modelling by researchers at the University of Oxford.
If the results are confirmed, they imply that fewer than one in a thousand of those infected with Covid-19 become ill enough to need hospital treatment, said Sunetra Gupta, professor of theoretical epidemiology, who led the study. The vast majority develop very mild symptoms or none at all.

From SP Angel's bulletin this morning:
? We recommend investors consider the following sectors for recovery:
? Mining – for the building boom to restart many economies & it’s our core specialisation
? Oil & Gas – economic recovery still needs to be fuelled and powered with oil and gas
? Builders
? Building Materials
