I know for certain that a lot of extra gas was going to China, being liquefied and being sent back to Europe. But there are more factors determining the current price. Increased liquefied natural gas from the US. It was a apparently mild winter which meant decreased heating demand, and a lot of industrial producers shut down in Europe because the price was too high.
And only China has done it since the 1970s and on its first attempt.
Apparently it was super easy in the 1970's. The Apollo missions were an order of magnitude more complicated though, because they not only had to land, they had to take off again, dock the the rest of the space craft that was orbiting the moon. Then they had to leave the orbit on the moon and successfully get back to earth, all without dying lol.
Sorry to hear buddy. It was a real tragedy what happened. Why it happened is another story. Basically there were two papers that came out of Wuhan China that said how to deal with covid. And the short version is, they said it's too dangerous to let patients breath, so they must either be kept on a negative pressure ward, or kept on a ventilator (for the safety of the staff). This recommendation was then pushed by the WHO to all member countries. So suddenly hospitals threw out 50+ years of protocols for dealing with respiratory infections and just put people straight on a vent, and then they died in large numbers. And no one really wants to talk about it today, the media just moved onto the next current thing.
So while COVID-19 may have put these patients in the hospital, it was actually an infection brought on by the use of a mechanical ventilator that was more likely to be the cause of death when this infection didn't respond to treatment.
