BREAKING: A record 39.3 million barrels of sanctioned crude are sitting on tankers off China's coast.

The stockpile includes 30.2 million barrels from Iran, 5.6 million from Venezuela, and 3.5 million from Russia.

This is up +454% from October and +17% from levels seen prior to the Iran war.

~77% of the crude is Iranian, but fresh offers have declined due to the ongoing war.

Furthermore, ~66% of the tankers are anchored in the Yellow Sea, with the rest in the South China Sea, indicating that most of the supply is parked close to China’s major refining hubs.

This floating stockpile acts as a buffer for China's private refiners, known as teapots, who have traditionally been the biggest buyers of discounted Iranian crude.

China can afford to weather the storm for now.

A single kiss can prove deadly for newborns, as illustrated by the heartbreaking case of baby Breelyn, which underscores the severe dangers of neonatal herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection.

Born perfectly healthy, Breelyn contracted HSV-1 (the virus responsible for cold sores) at just two days old when someone with an active cold sore kissed her on the mouth. Newborns have immature immune systems that cannot effectively fight off such infections, allowing the virus to spread rapidly.

In Breelyn's case, it progressed to HSV encephalitis—a life-threatening inflammation of the brain—causing extensive damage: roughly 60% of the left hemisphere and 10% of the right were permanently affected. This led to ongoing seizures, profound developmental delays, and long-term neurological challenges.

Although her outlook was initially dire, Breelyn has demonstrated incredible strength and determination. Now older (reports from around 2024 describe her at age 8), she has learned to use a walker for mobility and expresses joy through smiles and other nonverbal communication, despite being unable to walk independently or speak. Her family continues to share her story publicly to raise awareness, emphasizing that neonatal herpes, though uncommon, can cause organ failure, severe brain injury, or even death in infants under one month old.

The key takeaway from Breelyn's experience is simple yet urgent: Never kiss a newborn if you have an active cold sore or any signs of oral herpes. What feels like a harmless gesture of love can have irreversible, lifelong consequences for a vulnerable baby. Medical experts and families affected by these cases strongly advise avoiding close facial contact with infants during the first weeks of life, especially from anyone with visible sores or a recent history of them. Early antiviral treatment can help if infection is caught quickly, but prevention remains the best protection.
