    Right, so if the drop before the 20th was larger than the drop after the 20th, why would we think that the WHO guidelines led to a larger drop in cases?

    so if we are in it to influence the WHO, what would stop the biden administration from saying, if you want us to rejoin and our money you need to lower the covid positive standards, that would be influencing them, the wrong way of course.

    there was no drop of much before the 20th, like i said a average of 219,000. the 50,000 a day dropped happened after the 20th, understand- before the 20th 219,000 after the 20th168,00, comprende?

    You are being so dishonest here. You are trying to make it seem like cases only started dropping after the WHO change when in fact they started dropping 9 days before the WHO change. Cases started dropping on Jan 11 and in fact dropped by about 57,000 per day between Jan 11 and Jan 20.

    So why did cases start dropping so dramatically 9 days before the WHO changes?

    No. Here are the 7 day averages from Worldometer:

    Jan 1: 200k
    Jan 11: 255k
    Jan 20: 198k
    Jan 25: 175k

    From Jan 11 to Jan 20, cases dropped by 57k per day. From Jan 20 to Jan 25 cases dropped by 23k per day. The per day average drop between Jan 11-20 was about 6300 (that's a drop of 57k over 9 days, or 57/9). The per day average drop from Jan 20 to Jan 25 was about 4600 (a drop of 23k over 5 days, or 23/5).

    So the rate of decline in cases has actually decreased since Jan 20 compared to the period between Jan 11-20. Cases were actually dropping faster before the WHO change than after.

    There's nothing stopping us from doing that, to the WHO or the UN in general as well as other international organizations like the IMF or the WB. We don't join those organizations for charity.

    so i guess, if as you say, cases were dropping faster before the 20th the previous administration was doing really well in getting them to drop,right?

    I comprehend that you believe this is true, but it isn't.

    I predict a massive amount of parents will choose to not get their kids vaccinated until there is full FDA approval of the Covid vaccine.

    Yeah, for the final 9 days of his administration, Trump did an amazing job bringing down cases.
