LW,

I use Firefox, try that if not already using, then you will see a Bottom Right Privacy Icon.

LW,

Bottom Right, Click on the Blue 'Privacy' Icon and make your choices, other than that download CCleaner.

LW,

'Sorry to digress, but talking of viruses: I now have a blue 'Privacy' icon appearing in the bottom right hand corner of my screen every time I load a new page on LSE.'

Just click on the Privacy /Blue icon bottom left, and choose 'Off' , no more tracking.
Also, add CCleaner to your browser, and after a session on the internet, clean all tracking cookies.

https://www.ccleaner.com/

Add the Free Version it's free after all.

Just to add, CV is a larger threat just now , so can blame it on that.

JTD,

'money they dare not confess to their spouse. '

So true:O)

AK,
Re: ' I don't go for 'check-ups' (if it ain't broke, don't try to fix it),'

I am exactly 100% of the same mindset, but some may ridicule such an approach, given that if you smoke, you are a social outcast, and that in itself I think, puts a lot folk off from visiting their own doctors for fear of a lecture.

In actual fact, I have not been to my own Doctor's for at least 10 years.

When faced with a real medical urgency ,I have simply gone to A&E, and been treated far quicker than my own surgery would have dealt with it imo.

K,

'Without being a 'stockpiler', I have enough in my flat to 'survive' for at least three weeks, though if the signs start going up I'll be paying a SERIOUS visit to the off-licence and the tobacconist.'

Made me laugh, same sentiment here, but you are on your own, I ain't and cannot close all the family hatches.

Out of sheer interest, I was thinking of renting my house out and moving to the Outer Hebrides, no cases there as yet, but getting all that together that would involve your children and your Grandchildren in giving up their jobs and school is another hurdle in itself.

We can only hope and prey that this Pandemic is over ASAP.

AK,

Maybe. Please define 'real'.

Real to me, is reading an e-mail received by my daughter yesterday, to say that my Grandaughter's school has issued a letter to all parents, in that a member of the school, whose immediate family ,has a connection with a family member that has now been passed as positive for CV19.

So for me, I am at exposure, not just from my own family but also the general public at large!

The issue being for me ,and also I suspect for you, is simply this................Once you are at an age of 60 plus your chance of succesfully fighting CV 19 are not the same as if you were 18 years of age..

AK,

Try and forget Poker for now, get your good self back to a bolt hole, survival is now the order of the day if over 60.

Get your food via online shopping, that is my current thinking, this is now serious S---t, at least until we have more sun and warmer weather, imop.

Question is:

Why at this late stage, is why has no FDA Approval been given, given USA urgency etc?

Answer, because it would appear no FDA Approval is coming, because alternative tests have been sourced????

CV19 is like a dream, but is real isn't it?

Please wake me up, when all of this S---t has ended.

Further, if you want a Professional perspective on Cv19 watch this:

LW,

I have been researching vaccines against Pneumonia which for older folk like myself, with a CV 19 infection threat, is a serious dilema.

You can pay £70 and get a Pneumonia jab from Boots the Chemist at a cost of £70.

BUT!!!!,, the Boots vaccine only has 13 Pneumonia strains, whereas the NHS vaccine has 23 Pneumonia strains.

Best go with the NHS vaccine if so minded to do so.

It may well be 'Irrational' ,but there will surely come a time when storage via Tankers reaches a point that storage is a bust flush, and where actual production has to be either scaled down to meet actual demand, or even shut off completely, when supply greatly exceeds demand.

$20 /Barrel makes no sense at all to anyone if only to remove current competition.

Cannot see RSA willing to try that strategy in full , given their requirement for at least $80 a Barrel can you?

If such a point was reached under the SA threat model, negotiations will imo be forced upon all major parties to stabilise the oil market, hence the recent Russian reaction.

The main concern for smaller players now imo is , are they going to be forced out of the game given all that is going on right now? OGA/CV19/Price Wars/ CC, etc.

Nobody wins a price war in the long run.

That is the strategy I reckon of RSA, just hope the Donald has a word with MBS :O)

Extrader,
Indeed, an Oxymoron imo
'Earlier this year chairman Tim Eggar confirmed the OGA will review its MER UK (maximising economic recovery) strategy to “fully embed” the UK’s net zero ambitions.'

Capt,

'JiffyBag: do you think it makes any difference at all to Hurricane?'

Given that K own 16% of HUR I would like to think so, we want to be assured of their continued commercial/technical support don't we?

'Plenty of CEOs do non exec jobs on other Boards, especially where there is no commercial overlap, as in this case'

Was thinking more in relation to the K Factor, am surprised no RNS has been issued.

Well, let us hope HUR find a seasoned replacement?
