Looking at the figures, I don't see all doom and gloom, however.

The percentage recovery rates include: China 92, South Korea 50, Japan 27 and France 17.

Some countries have done well in handling the outbreak.
Others have not.
The UK obviously mishandled it.

'This article says Trump could...'

Trump could have acted by now, but he doesn't want to upset his friend, MBS.

Trump last week said he would get involved in the oil price war between Saudi Arabia and Russia at the appropriate time.

Maybe when oil prices are below zero, he would consider that the appropriate time had come, but I think any action then would be too late to save him from defeat in November.

I think the fatality figures don't support your thesis, EC:

UK 759, Czech Republic 9, Poland 16, Romania 29, Croatia 4, Slovenia 9, Serbia 8, Hungary 11, Bulgaria 5, Ukraine 8.

Yes, indeed, Daltry.

I'm afraid that 103 years of reading LSE have taken their toll.

'Long wait. Is it commercially viable today?
Is it helping boost our sp or producing more oil for us? '

There is a bureaucratic difficulty in developing that prospect, but you've moved the goalposts.
It is commercially feasible, but its development has so far been blocked.
As Double pointed out, there are almost certainly similar opportunities nearby, and the company has acquired valuable information from the LC success.
It's a success, not a failure!

I didn't say you're against HUR; I said your statement about LC not being commercially viable is unfounded.

'We failed to produce commercial quantities bar Lancaster.'

Your comment can be added to the long list of unfounded statements about HUR made to date.

'This morning Hurricane Energy announced the flow test results from its Lincoln Crestal well, the second well of a three-well drilling campaign in the Greater Warwick Area (GWA). The well tested at a maximum stable flow rate of 9,800bopd using electrical submersible pumps (ESPs).

The positive flow test at Lincoln Crestal of 9,800bopd is in excess of our modelled rates for the single-well GWA tie-back, which gives us confidence in the well deliverability and commerciality.'

Yes, Double, I'm afraid 'Casinos will never be the same again.'

I was going to reply jokingly that there is a futures contract, but decided it would be in bad taste.
In any case, I'm not sure what kind of high you're looking for - maybe of the kind that can't be discussed on LSE (not to be confused with LSD).
Seriously though, the figures from Italy are shocking, and I see now that the journalist who pointed out weeks ago that the number of cases in Italy was comparable, per capita, to China, was on the right track.
Maybe Spain will even overtake Italy eventually.
I still think the summer heat will cause a peak, but as Trump often says, 'We'll see what happens.'

In fairness to the Thunbergs, they didn't feel unwell until after they had returned from their trip, so they must have caught it outside Sweden and couldn't have known they should cut short their trip and return.

I am amazed, however, that she spent so much time in the interview talking about how sure she is that she and her father have CV even though they haven't been tested.

Shouldn't the authorities be testing people who have possible symptoms after returning from foreign travel?

Yes - someone ought to ask the Saudis where they expect other countries to put the oil they're proposing to give away.

Italy has finally made a new high.
Looks as though Spain and UK have too.
By the time this is over, China could be well down the league table.
There have been 300 cases and ten deaths in Hungary, so I don't know why the Hungarians are figuring so prominently.

'Glad I sold at .1371 cents!'

(bigones)

I suppose you meant 13.71 cents.

I have come across hundreds of supposed geniuses on LSE AIM who proudly predict that a share price will fall sharply - especially during a market or sector crash - and seem to think there is something original about doing so.

It could hit 422p again, but that would put it on a prospective yield (assuming the oil price doesn't enter a dark age) of 20 percent.

That seems unsustainable.

Thanks for the Telegraph link, Bluebird.
That has really enlightened us; we wouldn't have known what was going on otherwise.

There's no need to boast, DU, especially at a time like this, when some people are losing their shirts (or possibly even sheds).
But I'll bet you don't have a five-bedroom shed.

ABOUT TO GO ELECTRIC:

In less than a decade China's new electric vehicle market has become the largest in the world. In 2018 more than a million electric vehicles were sold in China, more than three times the number sold in the US.
in the last quarter of 2019 sales for electric vehicles plummeted.
Now the coronavirus has supplied a second punch.
The vast majority [of electric car makers] will not survive
For car buyers, that question of quality hangs over China's electric car makers.

In spite of my investments in oil companies, I would like to see more electric vehicles replacing traditional ones, but I think it's more feasible with smaller vehicles.

'Mr Johnson's spokesman said all No 10 staff "will of course remain two metres apart from him at all times if they were to have any contact".'

In the case of the Leader of the Opposition, I would increase that to two kilometers.

Coronavirus: Prime Minister Boris Johnson tests positive

At first, when I first saw this on another website, I thought it must be a hoax.

I thought someone might query that, but obviously it's someone connected with HUR.
