0:42June straight opens, business returns to normal, energy flows what they were on February 27th, just world returns to status quo, there will still be a net loss of 1.8 billion barrels of oil, not including natural gas, by the way, or petrochemicals or all kinds of other commodities the world needs, but just oil.
