Biden the hero.

Get ready for Kung flu cases to drop big time. For some reason starting today you have to be presenting symptoms and test positive twice to have covid.

If this doesn't answer the deep state question for some of you I don't know what will.

Where did you hear that?

Where did you hear that?

I think it's just a prediction.  (but you heard it here first!)  

My wife watches the reported cases numbers reported by the county every day.  She gets annoyed when I ask her what exactly a "reported case" is.    Today there was no report; perhaps they are rewriting the metrics?  I expect a sharp downturn in the very near future.  Don't know if it'll be tomorrow or if they'll wait a week to allow our wonderful new leader's policies a chance to take effect.  I'm kind of expecting the downturn to start tomorrow and rapidly accelerate, but we'll never know what exactly the numbers mean because that's a closely guarded secret and therefore subject to change.

I do believe the healthcare professionals are doing the best they can and are doing a pretty good job having been dealt a bad hand.  But I also think the numbers are being manipulated for political reasons.

[Jim147]

Where? WHO.

Also today Amazon told Biden we can help get the vaccine out there for you. Was this a sudden thing they realized?

[Perd Hapley]

It won't be easy, as I generally don't talk to people, but there are some people I'd like to talk to about whether they are getting the Trump vaccine. 

[Boomhauer]

8000 Americans have died under Biden. On his first day. What a tragedy.

Oh wait we aren’t holding him to the same ridiculous standards? My mistake.

Newly sworn in President Joe Biden and his advisers are inheriting no coronavirus vaccine distribution plan to speak of from the Trump administration, sources tell CNN, posing a significant challenge for the new White House.

We are on the state Department of Health conference call every day to find out how much vaccine will be allocated and shipped to Washington state and then cascaded out to the individual counties.  There is just not much vaccine out there.  We are now vaccinating our healthcare workers with low patient contact (such as myself), and we are not sure if we will receive enough vaccine for the second dose.  In my case, I should receive my second dose around February 5th or so but we don't have any guarantees of a vaccine supply and have not even scheduled the vaccination clinics for that date until we hear about a supply.

I am not sure what the Feds can do about this, since we hear that the Pfizer and Moderna plants are already running 24/7 and are at maximum output.  There is no Federal stockpile or reserve that can be drawn upon. Probably the biggest help will be as additional vaccines (Johnson and Johnson, etc.) get emergency approval and come on line.  And of course other countries are complaining about their vaccine supply as well.

Seems to me the feds have a vested interest in delaying the resolution of this pandemic.  Those of an unscrupulous nature might take advantage of the chaos, fear, and increasing desperation of the populace to exert control . . . .

What was it someone predicted about the numbers falling after Biden became President?

No more indoor dining bans in DC either.

Hoo, boy! The fix is in.

For months I have been tracking the COVID-19 numbers reported by my state, and keeping track of when the reported totals don't match the state's own numbers as provided in the governor's daily updates. But my state doesn't report active cases or recoveries so, for those numbers, I have been going to the global CV-19 web site at https://www.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html#/bda7594740fd40299423467b48e9ecf6

I have had free and unfettered access to this site, from early May (when I first learned of it) right up through yesterday evening. I just tried to call it up for today's numbers, and suddenly I get booted out to a log-in screen that tells me that I have to have an ArcGIS account to sign in.

I'm sure this is just a coincidence.


[Update] I was able to access the same map through a different URL: https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/map.html

[JTHunter]

As a child, my parents exposed my brother and me to neighbor's kids that had the "mumps" but neither of us ever got them.  This was before the MMR vaccine was developed.
I did get both the Salk and Sabin polio vaccines as a child, but, other than a couple of tetanus vaccine shots for injuries, I have never had a "prophylactic" vaccine such as a flu shot.  I have also never had the flu.  I have no intention of getting this vaccine for a variety of reasons, including the growing number of reports of "incidents" that are causing harm to recipients.

[RoadKingLarry]

I remember mom taking us to visit friends that had chicken pox.  I think she did the same with measles and my older sister brought the mumps home from school.

[RoadKingLarry]

Looks like canning supplies will be the toilet paper of 2021.

And we have our first contender for the “Biggest Pussy of 2021”. He better hope he never contracts Corona or it will definitely kill his little bitch self.

[TommyGunn]

Ain't THAT the truth!!!! 

[Ben]

Biden says "There's nothing we can do to change the trajectory of the pandemic." That statement is cool with the MSM. I'm sure that wouldn't have been the case if a certain other person said it four days ago.

ETA: I just now saw on the teevee, that one of the biggest motivators for people voting for Biden was that he would immediately take care of the China virus.
