Yahoo Finance ^ | February 17, 2021 | Myles Udland·

As markets rally, the pandemic quietly eases

...

the declining number of new COVID-19 cases and COVID-related hospitalizations over the last few weeks.

On Monday, the number of new COVID cases recorded was the lowest since mid-October while recorded COVID-related deaths were the lowest since Nov. 30. Hospitalizations are down about 45% from their January peak.

...

the overall trajectory of the virus in the U.S. has been clear over the last few weeks.

...

Daily new COVID infections continue to decline across the country. .

...

If we want to argue about what the market was "pricing in" on the COVID front, a springtime improvement and a mostly normal summer in the U.S. seemed like the base case..

....

data suggests that nearly 40% of the population has either been infected or inoculated against COVID-19.

And so as we sit here today, we can say with confidence the pandemic situation in the U.S. is getting better.

Well when you manipulate the PCR test, you can make the numbers say whatever you want them to say. And brainwash the masses of non-thinkers to praise the vaccine🙄

I’m sure it had nothing to do with lowering the cycle count on the PCR test from 40 to 25 right??

at 32 cycles the PCR test yields a 90% False Positive Rate!!!!

Al Gore will help you, but first you have to dive into a snow bank and scream that you are burning to death from the global warming.

One hour after Biden was installed by the deep state, WHO changed covid testing cycle criteria from from 40 to 20.. which resulted in large reductions in the numbers of false positive cases..

Biden became President, and just like that, there weren’t bodies everywhere and Covid wasn’t scary anymore.

So the positive test numbers peaked during what used to be flu season, and now they are dropping. Now, how about current activity, with millions of people with no power in Texas during a cold snap? The normal expectation is that in the immediate future, more people will develop sore throats, sniffles, etc. .....

Bet testing had dropped, too.

Especially mandatory testing.

The vaccines will end the pandemic — whether Dr. Fauci likes it or not

Repeat after me: Vaccines will end the pandemic.

This bears repeating, as some elites seem bent on prolonging restrictions for a long time, perhaps indefinitely. If they have their way, we will wear masks for years, continue to socially distance and never get back to our regular lives.

The sane among us need to make sure none of this transpires.
