    Very impressive. I know it’s a small state but I think everyone can see what they’ve done and hopefully other states copy their rollout.

    it is really amazing how much better daily new case numbers look when the WHO decides to change in mid-stream so to speak,lowering the paramaters to what constitues a positive test. the first 19 days of this month the average was 218,912, then, on the day biden gets into office they change and the last 6 days see a new case average of 168,535, a almost 50,000 a day drop.maybe they can go back in time and reajust all the earlier figures that used the old parameters, of course that would mean a huge drop in numbers, thus maybe telling them they jumped the gun on all the decisions they made, shutting the economy down, putting it in the toilet, closing thousands of businesses, ruining millions of lives, actually giving credence to those who said the numbers were way overblown, but they will not, just go foprward with a testing procedure to make people look good, unlike before.got the numbers from covid19 tracking in case anyone wants to check.

    I heard the governor of WV on tv and he was saying they are at something like 101% of vaccines that have been delivered have been used. He talked about getting every drop out of the vaccine vials. They are paying attention to details there.

    ahhhhh. Sorry that everyone doesn’t get a trophy. In the real world being an asshole & trying to blame others for your failures has consequences.

    Gee,I guess Biden will take credit for the sudden drop no matter how suspicious it looks. Why did they not change their criteria much sooner, oh thats right,we pulled out and took our money. No money means we don't change the criteria.

    You got it man. Its all a worldwide conspiracy to hurt Trump. Up next they are going to change the threshold for what's considered dead. Lack of heartbeat and brain activity is too harsh.

    They were initially using the Multiplying Integers rule to count COVID positive cases:

    (-) x (-) =(+)

    This is nonsense. Daily covid cases (7 day average) peaked on January 11 at 254,862. By Jan 20 it had dropped to 197,649. It is currently at 175,021. The drop in cases started well before Biden took office. Cases are dropping because the holiday season is now well behind us, not because of some minor change that WHO recommended.

    So the miraculous drop in cases was pure coincidence?

    Yeah, it coincided with the end of the holiday season. It's a miracle!

    Yeah, for the last 9 days Trump was in office, daily cases went down. Cases came down after the first spike too. And they came down after the second spike. Now they've come down after the third spike.

    Clearly we need Joe Biden laser focused on overturning an election and let Mike Pence run the country.

    Weird, these posts were made two days before Inauguration Day. You seriously have to take a step back from Fox News or OANN or Newmax, or whatever your sources are before you fall deeper down the rabbit hole...

    WHO warns pregnant women NOT to take Moderna Covid-19 vaccine

    A lot we don't know about this vaccine at this point. Anyone over 65 for sure should take it but I'm going to wait until there is more data out there. No way would I let my kids take this vaccine until it has there has been trial data in children and full FDA approval.

    Do you really believe a 80,000 a day drop in new cases in 2 weeks was just because the holidays were over and nothing to do with easing of parameters? If so I have a bridge in Arizona to sell you.

    I can see the commercials in the future.

    “If you or a loved one had a covid shot and are experiencing any of the following side effects or afflictions, call Morgan and Morgan right away”.

    For the people, by the people.
