Wheat kind of only recovering from near term setback

Huge slice of Ukraine tonnes.

China the key to everything at moment markets wise. Sadly we’re missing out with our spat between govts

Edit and even in a grain market sense the worlds a different place with serious talk of covid vaccine

Jordy, did you read the articles you posted or just the headlines. None of the hospitals in the articles were over capacity as they are now. For example, in first article quote: "St. Boniface Hospital has the highest vacancy rate at 18.9 per cent as of December, 2019. Concordia has the lowest, at 8.4 per cent.
Kaminski says they’d ideally like to have 63 ICU beds available across Winnipeg, but currently have only 58 for no other reason than there’s not enough trained staff to operate them."

Yes I did.

In California, which has been particularly hard hit by this season’s flu, several hospitals have set up large “surge tents” outside their emergency departments to accommodate and treat flu patients. Even then, the LA Times reported this week, emergency departments had standing-room only, and some patients had to be treated in hallways.

The Lehigh Valley Health System in Allentown, Pennsylvania, set up a similar surge tent in its parking lot on Monday, in response to an increase in patients presenting with various viral illnesses, including norovirus, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and the flu. “We’ve put it into operation a couples times now over the last few days,” said a hospital spokesperson. “I think Tuesday we saw upwards of about 40 people in the tent itself.”

Second, much of the alarm was shortage of staff rather than hospital beds. In none of the articles were they at the point of telling hospital staff who had the flu to come to work anyway as the governor of North Dakota asked today of nurses who test positive for Covid but are asymptomatic. So me the science that says asymptomatic carriers cannot pass on Covid

We don't know how many nurses came to work with the flu, there could of been many that were asymptomatic, there was just no need to test.
Asking nurses who are asymptomatic to work, is a nothing burger. Even if you test positive for covid, but show no symptoms, it means you are NOT sick.

Third, none of the articles referred to bringing in refrigerated trucks because the morgues are over flowing as is happening right now in El Paso.

The el paso death rate is at just over 1%, with a large increase in hospitalizations coming from mexicans crossing the border seeking medical attention. The death rate is nothing out of the ordinary.

Fourth and most importantly. Covid 19 does not replace influenza. The flue season has not even started and already the hospitals are overflowing. What happens when the flu season hits on top of Covid? If you are right that the health system cannot even handle the seasonal flu in the past then the problems are even more acute this year with Covid on top of the flu!

The goverment has had 8 months to prepare, and has made minimal changes. Telling me that we are able to handle both simultaneously.

WASDE for May 2020 said Australia might produce 24 MMT of wheat. In Sept they raised Aussie wheat to 28.5 MMT and have left it there for Oct and Nov. From what you have been saying I have to think Aussie numbers are going higher yet
