Amnesia..a

 


One year after this Biden's administration is in the White House office, Brent crude futures, the international oil benchmark, topped $90 on Wednesday for the first time in more than seven years. The threshold breakthrough comes amid growing geopolitical tensions between Russia and USA as supply remains tight. All this is of our WHite House's action. It has nothing to do with free market.



While in 2020 the oil industry_ U.S. oil prices went negative for the first time on record. In a matter of hours on April 20, the May 2020 contract futures price for West Texas Intermediate (WTI) plummeted from $18 a barrel to around -$37 a barrel.1

Brent crude oil prices also tumbled, closing at $9.12 a barrel on April 2020, a far cry from the $70 a barrel crude oil fetched at the beginning of the year 2021.

Late..

 


President Joe Biden’s chief medical adviser expressed optimism that the omicron surge that has pushed Covid-19 infections and hospitalizations to records will soon peak, though that decline won’t be uniform throughout the U.S.“Things are looking good,”

The Biden administration will begin making 400 million N95 masks available for free to Americans starting this week. Nearly a week after the Biden administration announced it will deploy 400 million free N95 masks to the public, the high-quality face coverings are starting to arrive at pharmacies and grocery stores.

By then free test kits will be sent to you at home by Mid February 2022. These are needed on December 20th. 

This is a "90" day late, and a "wasteful "Dollar short.

Sublineage..

 


There are already dozens of cases across almost half of the U.S. of a new Covid subvariant that's even more contagious than the already highly transmissible omicron variant.

Nearly half of U.S. states have confirmed the presence of BA.2 with at least 127 known cases nationwide as of Friday, according to a global data base that tracks Covid variants. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in a statement Friday, said although BA.2 has increased in proportion to the original omicron strain in some countries, it is currently circulating at a low level in the U.S.

The new sublineage doesn't appear to further reduce the effectiveness of vaccines against symptomatic infection, according to the U.K. Health Security Agency.

Life..

 


If you want to live a long, healthy life, there's good evidence that getting enough fiber is key. 

Foods rich in fiber, including plenty of carbohydrates, are featured prominently in diets in the Blue Zones, areas of the world where people live the longest, healthiest lives, according to research

Blue Zones represent a wide variety of cuisines, like Japanese, Greek, Italian, and Costa Rican. While the specific foods vary, common high-fiber foods groups like beans, nuts, whole grains, herbs, and green veggies make up the backbone of Blue Zones diets

Research suggests getting enough fiber is important for digestive health, stable blood sugar, and prevention of chronic illnesses like heart disease and cancer. Foods rich in fiber can also help with weight loss by keeping you full after eating.

War..

 



U.S.-backed Kurdish-led forces said they wrestled control of the last section of a prison controlled by Islamic State militants and freed a number of child detainees used as human shields. 

It ended a weeklong assault by the extremists on one of the largest detention facilities in Syria.
