Unbelievable - Terrible timing to not be able to export grains/oilseeds:
U.S. barge backlog swells on parched Mississippi River
Commercial barge traffic on southern stretches of the Mississippi River was at a standstill on Tuesday as low water levels halted shipments of grain, fertilizer and other commodities on the critical waterway, shipping sources said.
The supply chain snarl comes just as harvesting of corn and soybeans, the largest U.S. cash crops, is ramping up and as tight global supplies and strong demand for food and fuel have sent inflation soaring.
Around 100 tow boats hauling some 1,600 barges were lined up for miles waiting to pass through one trouble spot near Lake Providence, Louisiana, that has been largely closed since late last week, shipping sources said.
At least two other sections of the lower Mississippi have also been closed at times, disrupting the flow of grain to U.S. Gulf Coast export terminals, where some 60% of U.S. corn, soybean and wheat exports exit the country, they said.
Shippers have been loading less cargo per barge so vessels sit higher on the water, and towing companies have reduced the number of barges per tow by nearly 40% as the low water conditions narrowed the navigable channel.

Look at the picture & realize this: their preconceived claim of 'virus found!' is just based on the 2nd step. CPE (dying cells) is their 'proof'. THAT's all they have. Additives also cause CPE, but they don't check. NO control = NO science.
The rest is 'in silico' sequencing BS.
The rest is 'in silico' sequencing BS.
This includes enshrouding groups of ideas in guru worship, buying into what some alt media half-truther has to say whole hog.
"So-and-so said this and I trust them" is NOT thinking it through on your own. It's just trading out CNN for a "red pilled" authority figure.
