Two things - one on topic one off.

There is something else this virus does that is exceedingly dangerous - it attacks the testes in men.

Testicular lesions are what the Chinese have seen - and possible long term infertility - which will be a plus for China long term - not so much for young men in the rest of the world.

Quote:

"Clinicians should pay attention to the risk of testicular lesions in patients during hospitalization and later clinical follow-up, especially the assessment and appropriate intervention in young patients' fertility," they wrote.

The scientists said they were interested in exploring whether COVID-19 has the potential to harm the urinary and male reproductive systems after some patients were found to have abnormal kidney function and damage, in addition to the expected problems with the respiratory system.

The second thing - off topic - the Saudi's on Saturday reacted to the OPEC+ meeting disaster by announcing that they will be slashing their crude price to up to $10 BELOW the Brent price and increasing production about 25%. This is primarily seen as a shot at Russia and the shale oil guys in the USA.

There will undoubtedly be some big hedge funds long from the $49 price early last week and one would reasonably expect complete chaos on the markets come this afternoon when they open for pajama trading.
