       Crazy, now lock-downs do more harm than good.  This becomes
       obvious.
       Seattle is schizophrenic.

       I see people masked driving alone in their cars or walking along
       the shoulder of the road.  Alone and masked up.  Then I go into
       a store and most people are bare-faced.
       I go to a bookstore. (Seattle still has a few).  A sign says in
       a kind way I forget, to put on a mask in our store.  I go back
       to my car and get my mask.  Then I had a great time looking at
       books.
       I'm convinced that when some people get COVID the only symptom
       they show is to be crazy as a loon.

       I prefer the bookstore policy but I am comfortable being casual.
       If a surge hits Seattle I will wear the mask more.  IMHO high
       mask compliance could wipe COVID out.  Except that in the card
       deck of humanity we have a lot of jokers.

       Some of the people still masked alone in the car or walking
       alone are genuinely afraid of virus surviving and floating in
       the wind through their vents. Others do it as a form of
       asceticism, denying and 'crucifying the flesh' like fasting or
       flagellation. For them, there is superiority over more plebeian
       peasants in their sacrifice and suffering. Also the external
       symbol of belonging to a great and good collective is something
       they don't want to give up wearing.
       If we believe the content of the above article, it pretty well
       confirms that food shortages are a big reason for the Chinese
       lockdown. The govt would have to be aware that aside from all
       the other impacts, it makes themselves unpopular and squanders
       the national pride they built by lifting a billion people out of
       poverty and restoring status to what it was prior to the Century
       Of Humiliation.

       US winter wheat forecast is significantly down from last year.
  HTML https://www.world-grain.com/articles/16899-us-winter-wheat-production-down-8-in-2022
       WASHINGTON, DC, US — In the first survey-based projection of the
       2022 crop, the US Department of Agriculture in its May 12 Crop
       Production report forecast winter wheat production in 2022 at
       1.173 billion bushels, down 103.818 million, or 8%, from 1.277
       billion bushels in 2021.
       The USDA winter wheat forecast was based on harvested area
       projected at 24.499 million acres, down 965,000 acres, or 4%,
       from 25.464 million acres in 2021, and an average yield forecast
       of 47.9 bushels an acre, down from 50.2 bushels an acre in 2021.
       
       Projected US winter wheat abandonment in 2022 of 28%, if
       realized, would be the highest since 2002, the USDA said, and
       factors in dry conditions in Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma and
       Texas.
       The USDA forecast hard red winter wheat production in 2022 at
       590.037 million bushels, down 21% from 749.489 million bushels
       in 2021.

       Acute Food Insecurity

       Afghanistan is fucked.
       [quote]High acute food insecurity persists across Afghanistan,
       as a combination of a collapsing economy and drought is
       depriving nearly 20 million Afghans of food, classi&#64257;ed in
       Crisis or Emergency (IPC Phases 3 or 4), between March and May
       2022 (the lean season), latest data shows. Among these are about
       6.6 million people in Emergency (IPC Phase 4) and 13 million in
       Crisis (IPC Phase 3). A signi&#64257;cant amount of Humanitarian
       Food Assistance (HFA) was provided, easing the food crisis for
       the most a&#64256;ected households. However, Afghanistan’s food
       security situation remains highly concerning, exacerbated by
       economic decline and high food prices. The economy is in free
       fall and food and fuel prices are rising, depriving the Afghan
       people of food. The country is also in the grip of one of the
       worst droughts in decades, curtailing food production. High
       levels of acute food insecurity (IPC Phase 3 or above) are
       observed in rural and urban Afghanistan. There is a need for
       urgent lifesaving support to prevent Catastrophic levels of
       acute food insecurity (IPC Phase 5) and livelihood assistance to
       help households recover.[/quote]

       Normally they don't export much.  Before the heatwave
       expectations had been for a bumper crop.  Plans were to replace
       some of the lost Ukraine wheat with Indian wheat.

       Global buyers were banking on supplies from the world's
       second-biggest wheat producer after exports from the Black Sea
       region plunged following Russia's Feb. 24 invasion of Ukraine.
       Before the ban, India had aimed to ship a record 10 million
       tonnes this year. "[/quote]
