Exactly, they changed the calculation on positive tests. Also more people are getting vaccinated so the transmission rate is dropping.

Well give thanks to the Biden covid plan: let Cuomo kill off the week of the herd.

This is no small point and more of the background frickery to make this festivus miracle appear to be another Joe Biden success story.

The control / COVID hoax is wearing too thin, people are ignoring the state mandates, and worse are starting to demand accountability.

They have no choice but to "cure" COVID soon, so that the sheep will go back to grazing and leave them alone.

Most people who have been vaccinated were already exposed to the virus.

Do you have any data to support that assertion?

And clarify what you mean by exposed.

Definitely a good chunk. Wanna know who was already immune? Look no further than those having the worst reactions to the vaccines, especially the second doses.

TBF, Texas hasn’t seen a new Covid case in over a week. Don’t really think there’s any relation to freezing cold weather.

Sure is amazing how cases go down when you change the way you count positive cases. Miracle this happen an hour after Biden was inaugurated.

Covid is a shell game. Now many of the covid deaths will magically become pneumonia and flu deaths.

This is easier said than done. Given the fear porn the media and dems have been spreading for a year, the Covid Cult isn't going to suddenly decide that it isn't all that serious anymore.

Stopped? No. The number or test taken has fallen back to early November levels. But as compared to testing from March - October, it is still quite high. This is a good thing by the way.
