I know but if that's the reason that Amazon didn't offer to help ... that is very poor by Amazon and Bezos.
There was never any "plan" on the federal level to address the pandemic under the prior admin. Nothing Amazon or anyone else could help with or propose on. Similar to the health care crisis in our country - the Trump team never had anything resembling a policy or plan other than just insulting others and ranting at the fake news.
Didn’t someone post in another thread 250M vaccines will be produced in that time period? Doesn’t sound very lofty to get less than half that amount available to our citizens....let’s how they get 100% of it out to our people.
It's not just a production problem as we're seeing in realtime. Gottlieb: Vaccine strategy not working
Interesting this is a concern for you on Jan 21. Sounds like the prior administration had no plan at all.
Right. People saying it shouldn't be a challenge will need to explain why it's been a challenge so far.
Interesting you are ok with such a low bar set for Biden when you were so upset with Trump? Who would have guessed.
Biden is the President now. All that matters is what he does moving forward. Trump is not his excuse just like Obama wasn't Trump's excuse for anything
Who said I'm setting a low bar? I know that is the talking point you're hoping for... sorry. My comment is your sudden interest in federal distribution planning.
This is from last week FYI. You guys don't believe the WHO anyway, so what's the big deal?You can’t make this stuff up, unbelievable.
The number you are defending in this thread is a low bar. Biden is the president solely due to covid and him being able to provide a much better response to it. Maybe you should hold him to that expectation instead on deflection and but Trump?
But your side does and they have to get prepped to improve those numbers! Right on schedule.....cue the excuses and but but but but conspiracies aren’t ok anymore!
Yeah, but focusing on that would force us to recognize that the previous administration's efforts were inept, something we like turning a blind eye to.
I think we all knew it was going to happen eventually, but they didn't even wait 24 hours. Case numbers will go down right on cue.You can’t make this stuff up, unbelievable.
I would need to read more about what the WHO is doing before I would jump on any conspiracy. One tweet from a doctor who seems hell bent on arguing about every restriction doesn't sway me. My ears are open thoughBut your side does and they have to get prepped to improve those numbers! Right on schedule.....cue the excuses and but but but but conspiracies aren’t ok anymore!
Yes it's dated 1/13 but the notice was published yesterday on their website shortly after the inauguration. https://www.who.int/news/item/20-01-2021-who-information-notice-for-ivd-users-2020-05. That's why people are just picking it up now.

I don't have a conspiracy theory about any of this. Trump did a terrible job. The WHO did a terrible job. Democrats used this pandemic to score as many political points as possible. They all suck.
Sorry. I'm not letting you off that easy. You said, "I think we all knew it was going to happen eventually, but they didn't even wait 24 hours. Case numbers will go down right on cue."
Yeah...it's so crazy that we mention conspiracy after someone alludes to a conspiracy. You guys are a trip.
Yep, pretty much. Don’t mind the conspiracy comments, that’s their deflection on any potential corruption that may benefit their side.
WHO is now admitting that the high cycle threshold PCR tests result in false positives. They publish this notice less than 1 hour after the new President is inaugurated, yet these concerns were raised many months ago. The rate of new positive cases will likely drop significantly with this refinement. Make of it what you will.
it doesn't matter. This was CLEARLY political to favor Democrats.
Between what Bezos did and this, this should highlight that there was a real, concerted effort to amplify everything bad, hide information or change results to take out Trump. There may even be collusion too.TwinTurbo said:

So going off what you've written, and correct me if I'm wrong, your conclusion is the WHO purposely kept the cases elevated while Trump was in office, but now that Biden is in office they've decided to alter their calculations so that the case counts are lower.TwinTurbo said:
Looks like Bezos wants his employees to jump the line and be vaccinatedwhoknew said:
I'm not an expert on this topic. Many tests set the cycle threshold level near 40. And it appears anything over 30 may be too sensitive. So it's certainly possible that more than a small percentage of reported covid cases were false positives.
OK I am not an expert either. Just curious why you are running with the "The rate of new positive cases will likely drop significantly with this refinement" thing
I'm only saying the timing is very curious, since these related concerns about testing were raised going back to last summer. Regardless of the purpose, the end result is the case counts will definitely go down, likely significantly.
It started off slow, as expected, but is now rolling. Counting the ramp up in the overall average is disingenuous.Mile High said:
The bar Biden has set is very low. We're pretty already at his goal and should exceed the goal going forward. I'm really looking forward to seeing 80+ year olds all get inoculated. Our hospitalizations and deaths should plummet when we achieve that. Then plummet even more when we get all the 65+ folks.Willy said:https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/covid-vaccine-tracker-global-distribution/?srnd=storythread-QKT7T1T0G1L501
As logistics improve, and new vaccines (J&J and AstraZenica) are approved we should do even better than 100m in 100 days. We're practically on pace to do that as it is. It's only going to get better.
