And just like that, there were no more dead bodies everywhere and Covid wasn’t scary anymore.

Good to hear now I don’t have to worry about not injecting experimental drugs for something I don’t have

of course the 77% drop, after January 6th I note, has NOTHING to do with the election.

We won’t have herd immunity or resolution as long as politicians and criminals like Bill Gates can make money and gain power on the crisis.

Sort of like perpetually shorting gold and silver in an artificial oscillating market.

Well thats one possible outcome. Another is devestating vaccine side effects. Time will tell

“...But the consistent and rapid decline in daily cases since Jan. 8 can be explained only by natural immunity.”

Changing the testing methods (specifically lowering the number of PCR cycles) probably helped a bit.

Farage on the precipitous drop in covid cases in UK; also speaks about President Trump, phony impeachment, illegal immigration, Fox News ratings, etc:

Youtube: 15m39s: 18 Feb: Talk Radio UK: Nigel Farage: Reform UK will scrap the BBC licence fee
Speaking with talkRADIO’s Mike Graham, he said the party will focus on scrapping the BBC licence fee, “reining in civil servants” and challenging the government’s handling of lockdown.

We’ll Have Herd Immunity by April.

"Well, I've been hearing about immunity since this whole COVID thing began. And I think it's about time someone did something about it!"

"Oh, it's HERD immunity?"

"Never mind."

Didn’t Fauci and fiends laugh at the whole herd-immunity idea not long ago?

Now the elites will have to create a new bug in a lab.

They are enjoying watching the plebes run around like rats in a maze.

The Masks and the School Shutdowns are but two lagging indicators of COVID status and recovery.
The Masks will probably be the last vestige of lockdown to disappear, since many people are now emotionally invested in the ritual. Some would call it a compulsion.

But the consistent and rapid decline in daily cases since Jan. 8 can be explained only by natural immunity.

Baloney. The rapid decline in daily cases since January 8th is directly the result of the changed standards established by the WHO for documenting positive COVID-19 tests.

Meanwhile, stunningly, there have been almost no cases of seasonal flu for a year! It’s a freaking miracle!

I wonder if they will discontinue Flu shots now.

“rapid decline in daily cases since Jan. 8 can be explained only by natural immunity.”

That is probably one of a few significant factors (and it is significant).

It is also likely that COVID-19 hit its natural seasonal peak for the year. Most coronaviruses are seasonal.

The testing standard was drastically relaxed on inauguration day (coincidentally).

The vaccinations are disproportionally going to those most likely to have serious cases. Those shots started in November, and under two weeks later (before the second shot), significant resistance has developed. Hard to say how active health care providers may have been in the transmission of the disease (including among vulnerable populations), but they have largely moved off the table during this time, due to vaccination.

Treatment and prevention may have improved. Have more people started taking zinc? HCQ? Ivermectin?

Herd immunity may well have been the dominant factor in the cresting of the case load, but vaccination will become the overwhelming factor in the coming months.

No no no, you don’t understand. You must still wear your mask. Two if you’ve got ‘em.
