Bigger picture gas flows are way down from what was typical over the last decade.

Euro storage is 58% full, 10% below the record low on this date.
Euro storage bottoms in late March. The record was 18%. Since they are already about 10% below this, could it dip under 10% this season?
Cold winter = 0% storage?
Remember Russian gas flows are now zero.

Europe is facing an energy crisis, with Russia curbing supplies and nuclear outages in France straining power grids in the coldest months of the year. And there’s no relief in sight.
European natural gas prices headed for a third day of sharp declines as more tankers are crossing the Atlantic with U.S. fuel to the energy-starved region.
While a flotilla of liquefied natural gas tankers is currently heading to Europe, the region will remain at the mercy of global markets to ensure it continues to get cargoes throughout next year.
Remind anyone of something?

An update on the biggest story no one is talking about (at least in the US)
Through Dec 19, only 59% of European natural gas storages are filled. The labels show the % of storage filled at similar points in past years is closer to 77% on average.
59% is a 10-year low.

As the chart below shows, the flow of gas from Russia to Europe is down considerably.

In the last several days flows have essentially hit zero.
I actually think you were right, and so are the dozens of replies to me that "people" will relax once they find out it is no more harmful than the flu.
It's all about blue state politicians ("Karens"). Will they call off their "control" to "stop the spread" to "protect health" all while "following the science?"
3/9
Will Blue Karens say it ok that the US is setting new daily case records, and hospitalizations are rising to new records in the Northeast and upper Midwest, as these charts show?
