Gotta keep jabbin at people dont ya.

But he/she is so accurate.

But he/she is so accurate.

are they tho?

see I see the vaccination programme as partly responsible for the variety of mutations? I could be wrong so we better not derail a thread. But y'know BP should just keep it to the right thread



which is a bit rich comin from me on the PAZ thread lol.

midday today was a bearish engulfing on the hourly. there have been several of them lately on the daily.

You are wrong, the more the virus spreads, the more it reproduces and the more it reproduces the more it makes mistakes (mutations) some of which will be advantageous and therefore become locked in. Delta and other variants were an inevitable result of countries failure to control the spread and vaccinate more quickly. No surprises that the major variants have come out of the poorest countries India (Delta) and South Africa (Beta), Brazil (Gamma), Peru (Lambda).

I wouldn't call mutations mistakes but more a bit of Darwin's theory in play - with more evasive virulent strains evolving / flourishing / surviving while lesser resistant mutations decline

Probably not too far wrong that these evolved in geographic regions where their authorities have for one reason or another failed to recognise / achieve effective measures to contain things at the crucial times ..

Evolution of the strains must raise questions on any ongoing effectiveness Vax / Control measures

There may become a time where current Vax becomes increasingly ineffective in dealing to newer strains or the mutant strains evolve further..

They're mistakes in the sense that all mutations are effectively a copying error when reproducing. But yes it's just how evolution works. Yes I expect that this will become a bit like the flu shot where they try to predict which strains will be circulating this year and cover them in a booster vaccine. Luckily it's not really in a virus's interest to be completely lethal, after all that rather curtails reproduction which is the primary objective. So over time we may see a tendency towards less harmful but more evasive (asymptomatic) strains as that's ultimately going to allow it to become more endemic.

I much prefer the eco friendly version, re cyclable as well.

bio fuel will not be practical for a while I reckon, I believe some kind of hybrid, with battery power, will be more likely. After all, planes don't have to worry about stop and go, like a car, so just need to use battery for take off and landing to maximise fuel saving.

Good news

Still got $1,065,000,00 to go before we the facility runs out

Longer this goes on the greater dilution when Govt actually steps in …..maybe existing shareholders will end up 10% of the company

Burning cash at 500 knots but still investing heaps more money in ESG projects. Yeah that makes "perfect sense"
