Jazz wrote about this mystery on Tuesday and now print media is sniffing around it. On March 2, Greg Abbott announced that he would lift the state’s mask mandate and reopen most businesses at 100 percent capacity on March 10. That seemed rash at the time given the spread of more contagious variants across the U.S. plus the fact that Texas’s daily cases on March 2 (6,660) weren’t dramatically lower than they were on July 2 of last year (7,381), the day Abbott implemented the new mandate. Public health experts like Fauci and Rochelle Walensky warned him that he was risking a new spike.

Spoiler: three and five; and, the virus doesn't care.

The virus that never was.
The flu and natural cause deaths were replaced by cover-19.

Because masks don't work. They're placebos.

Live free or die from fear. California is the land of walking dead. Little tiny kids playing in the park all masked up by their 20 year old mom whose wearing two masks. I know of one man who didn’t leave his house from March last year when it started until a week ago after he had his second rabies shot. Even now he wears a mask all day. At home in public and driving his car. For a minute I thought we were in an episode of Scare Tactics.

What's to wonder about? Demonrats want to retain their power and DNC so-called scientists are all rushing to make it happen.

It was a beautiful day today in Houston. The traffic was full flow. The business parking lots full with customers. Texas is back in business.

It's the same scenario in other mask-free states like South Dakota and Florida and in the rural areas of most other states. Wuhan has been defeated by herd immunity with or without the vaccine. American blue areas crippled their businesses and populations for nothing. I would wager that democrats are feeling silly about now if they had that capability.

But, but, MSNBC online declared, "States Reopening As Virus Cases Still Rise" or some such rot.

Perhaps masks help spread disease and lockdowns depress people making them more prone to infections. It is not common sense that masks reduce the spread of disease. Surgeons have their mask placed on them by someone else and never touch their mask. How does this compart to the way the general public handles masks? Ever see a list of standard features for a mask? No, there is none. Any old rag will work you just need a means to hold it on your face. Notice how the old 6 feet social distance is now 3 feet. Have you ever seen a scientific justification for either distance?

Same for all the plexiglass shields and plastic face shields.

Define "cases". The word has been totally distorted from the meaning it had prior to Covid. Notice none of the stories are reporting any surges in hospital admissions or deaths. In SWMO the hospitals have closed their "Covid wards" due to lack of business. There are many reasons for the way this whole scam has played out but people are very selective on what they choose to report and what they choose to ignore. We all know the reason.

Those masks are making my coworkers out of breath from climbing stairs. These are people of an age who don't need that effect. And a lot of them are now doing their duty and wearing N-95 masks. The brainwashing is complete.

This explains the urgency of flooding Texas with thousands of infected foreigners.

A group of us went to dinner this week, all sans masks, and the restaurant was packed! We’re in Florida and it’s normal party time. Thanks, Gov. DeSantis!

#18, I have gone to restaurants two to three times a week for the entire last year, less a six week period when the idiots in our county commission shut down restaurants (illegally).
I NEVER stayed out of restaurants and have always treated the mask as a passport to the table, taking it off and leaving it off for the entire visit. Refill cup? No mask. Get some BBQ sauce, no mask. Visit the restroom, no mask.
Scroom.

They're propagandists, not scientists.
Why? Answer -
The virus was real
The Panic is hoax
The Lockdown is Fascism.

As spring moves in I would honestly expect an upswing. Nothing major, but some. To #15 A. I greatly appreciate your chosen career and enjoy your product on a regular basis. B. Want to really tank the numbers? Stop paying extra for Covid diagnosis.
It's all about the money.

We were just there last weekend, visiting the kids. We felt 90% freer. Because we were.
Then back to the Peoples Republic of California. Depressing
