I don't think the vaccines have anything to do with the decline in nursing home cases.

[redfish]

Cases in nursing homes should have always been ZERO.

Rather than close everything down the vast majority of our efforts should have been with protecting the most vulnerable, as we knew before we even had confirmation of cases here that the elderly are at exponentially higher risk.

[rafeller]

Yeah a year later they finally reached the numbers they should have reached a month after everyone realized what was going on. So I'm not really celebrating that it took him a year to figure out that nursing homes would be the most vulnerable people. and I'll stop there because I don't want to become vulgar.

I’m just so happy and glad that no sitting politician would put nursing home patient’s lives in jeopardy during this pandemic. Thank the lord for that.

Figures it would take YouTube comments to totally spin this great news into something negative.

Because of the economic crisis and the rate of unemployment now is the best time to invest and make money 💯

[Pbalix]

It's down because general public doesn't know what a cycle threshold value is and how the who ordered more accurate testing announced jan 20th.

“Dr. Fuellmich is a founding member of the German Corona Investigative Committee investigating the Corona fraud scandal.He has formed an international network of lawyers to argue the biggest tort case ever, which has unfolded into one of the greatest crime against humanity ever committed. “

It has sropped because most of them died. Probably.

[doranvee]

[zerothm]

How come they not talking about the Homocides?

[Doraemon-edjs]

Some solutions yield new problems. Let's hope it's as effective as it promised it would be.

[mothratemporalradio]

Congratulations. This was foreseeable. Unfortunately there are complications with the AZ vaccine that will delay rollout in other countriea but so many AmerIcans have died, more than during WW2. I wish you further strides towards rebuilding your country. Please don't forget Myanmar as you do so.
