I am sure it was just coincidental.

I questioned the connection back during the first lockdown, wondering if they are just giving us good news during a lockdown, even though we couldn't take advantage of the lower prices - we had nowhere to go and practically weren't allowed to leave our houses (the first lockdown was very strict).

So now I wonder if this piece of news announced today of the price of gas being lowered on Saturday night means we might be going into a third lockdown now.. :-)

It seems unlikely because  the numbers are pretty good from what I understand (though there is less testing I think), but maybe. Maybe if we were going into a lockdown the price would be dropped much more significantly.. this seems like a normal fluctuation....
