They are indeed.

MWji, not sure exactly how your response addresses mine....... agree that there has been a conscious agreement between the House of Saud and Us to denominate the Saudi oil trade in USD, which may of course be a contributing factor for global USD dominance. But I would submit that this is a supporti...

As long as energy is traded in dollars, then $ dominance will not decline as fast. Sorry, don't think it has anything to do with energy.......... $$ dominance will remain as long as US remains the largest consuming market on this planet. They make it a point to pay sellers only in $, and that is wh...

from where u got that figure ??

This is initial from from end of day 30 March.

I think we need to have some data on actual hospitalizations or sick persons in India. Based on infected persons, India has 2.5% mortality rate. 34/1318 as of today.

Mort Walker

From the India COVID-19 tracker, today was a bad day with +176 cases.

The Abbott Labs tester can do 50,000 tests per day. I don't know when these will be available in India, but I think it is sometime soon.

IndraD, This site has a breakdown by state and district. It also has a cluster map showing actual patients since the total is around 1139 cases and 1022 active cases: https://www.covid19india.org/ Also check the Ministry of Health at: https://www.mohfw.gov.in/ GoI has screened over 1.5 million inter...

The Financial Express is saying +179 cases as of evening of 28 March. This need verification, so I would be cautious about it.

According to https://www.covid19india.org/

There are +123 cases as of 10PM IST. I think we should wait until next morning for the Health Ministry to confirm numbers as they come in various states and UTs.

Yesterday it was +151.

^^^Cancel their passports. If they are foreign nationals, then cancel their visas and target their family members to ensure they never set foot in India again.

Estimates from our group of scientists and others suggest the actual number of infection cases in India is likely to be about 21,000 by now.

Fake news. Don’t post NYT or WaPo here.

Mort Walker

Some 65 of the new cases today are coming from MH and KL. I expect that these states and others will stabilize due to the lockdown.

Looks like ammunition is getting scarce in the US. Public is buying lots of it.

The US is at 4% fatality and ICU combined. But most of this is coming from NY which needs to closed off by US army so that those people can’t drive away and afflict more elsewhere.

I expect many such measures will be enacted.
But if US de-globalizes then don't expect $ dominance.

5 deaths today. We might be at the door.. GoI would have got the ICU figures couple of days back and is probably expecting higher deaths. Might explain the sudden announcement of lockdown. I've seen only 4 deaths today and +62 cases as of 9:00PM IST. I think we will know definitively by March 28th ...

FED has hired Blackrock to manage and oversee their $4 trillion injection. Blackrock's first order of business was to have the FED buy an exchange-traded bond fund sponsored by --- Blackrock. The value of that fund went up nearly 20%. Thomas Jefferson said that eternal vigilance is the price of fre...

Let's just follow common sense and not get carried away by hug a Chinese or anti something behaviour.

^^^US is adding about 10-12K cases per day and half of them are coming from NY. The US is too large of a country geographically and COVID-19 cases vary greatly outside of the east and west coasts. Unemployment is the big concern where the US could face over 30% unemployment which will not help anyone.

Jean Drèze Sir, Jean Dreze is the perennial anti-Hindu and the brain behind Sonia's NAC. He wants to try out his stupid theories on India and in the process win couple of prizes incl. the NoBull prize. The only reason he should be mentioned in the august pages of the BRF would be to ridicule him. J...

In the US, most of the cases are coming from NY state. Some 4800/6000 new cases a day. I think it warrants martial law in NY state.

Mort Walker

^^^Presumptive positive is that the patient is showing all the symptoms (respiratory and fever), but hasn't been tested. They are presumed positive. As time goes on and more testing was done, those numbers probably became actual positive.

Mort Walker

There is a 10 fold increase in the obituary pages in the papers from Lombardy whilst the confirmed viral death rate has definitely increased. So applying Occam's razor or the law of parsimony, we conclude that all those deaths in the elderly/nursing home patients during this pandemic were due to fa...

Individual incidents don't matter in statistics unless it's a huge outlier. They even out as they occur at random. The trends remain the same and so, statistically, you can predict how many would have died naturally and make a reasoned call with a state degree of confidence that so many people like...

Super capacitors have been around for a while. Their cost is very high and have specific applications.

This discussion is going side tracked. It's about oil and gas. There are plenty of other threads (~3) for people to discuss their fantasies about batteries and EVs.

Neither the GoI or private industry is going to waste a single Rupee on battery EVs which don't represent even 1% of vehicles in India. Sure you'll see a few busses, trucks and cars for those who are hobbyist inclined. Hybrid vehicles followed by fuel cells are the future. Battery technology is dea...
