An update to last week’s post about case counts declining in the Lone Star state. Not only have cases continued to fall in Texas since then, the seven-day average is now the lowest it’s been since June 18, 2020 according to Worldometer. Yesterday the state was averaging just 3,263 daily confirmed infections. On March 10, the day Greg Abbott’s order lifting Texas’s mask mandate took effect, it was averaging 4,895. Average daily deaths are also the lowest they’ve been since November — and deaths lag cases by several weeks so they might well continue to fall throughout April.
Is there a “vaccine effect” at work here? Well, sure, partly

In addition to the twitter chart at the end of the article spend some quality time on the Mayo Clinic's interactive Coronavirus state forecasting maps.

The combination of vaccines and herd immunity are working to make covid in Texas just a bad memory. Hopefully the invasion of illiterate diseased human scum from the south will not cause this trend to falter. Of course the southern invasion is an event instigated by the Xiden/Kamaltoe administration intended to offset the successes in Texas, Florida, etc.
I cannot wait for Nov 8, 2022. If the Rs don't sweep the House and the Senate it means that they don't want to. Write letters to your congresscritter early and often. Remind them that they vote your way or they get primaried.

Re#2: Forgive my pessimism, but do you seriously believe there will ever be an honest election in this country ever again? Every patriot in the United States could cast a thousand votes and the predetermined results would be the same: The demonrats will never lose an election.

This puts Joe, Fauci and his democrat fear mongers in quite the quandary. It makes their illegal alien invasion at the border not quite as dangerous (unless you count the murders) but it blows their fear campaign about the dangers of COVID spread all to hell. No more masks, no more lockdowns! Shove your vaccine up your backside!

There are too many confounding factors to draw any conclusions about the effect of one thing, like masks, on the infection rate. For one thing, masks are still being used quite a lot in Texas despite the repeal of the mask mandate. Also, as noted, more and more people are being vaccinated and almost all of the most vulnerable people are vaccinated in Texas now.

The decrease in Covid cases and deaths in Texas is particularly remarkable when you consider all the Covid positive illegals that have been released in Texas under Biden administration policies.

When I used to see a person wearing a mask in public, I thought, "that person is sick".
That is exactly what masks are for - sick people should be wearing them. Or better yet sick people should stay isolated.
When healthy people wear masks, they get sick from rebreathing what their body was expelling.
As for protecting other people because you might be asymptomatic, in a study in China of SARS CoV2 there were zero positive cases from 1174 close contacts with asymptomatic cases.

#6 Apparently you don't get the concept of mandatory versus voluntary. free to wear a loincloth and turban and mask but I can't make you. You note that many Texans are wearing masks. But you don't seem to want to comment on the good statistics just masks. Interesting...

The invaders are being waived into our country, #8. They are not being tested so their CV+ numbers are not known and therefore, not included.

..the dishonest media will largely NOT report ANY positive news that shows mask-wearing and business shutdowns were in fact counter-productive and very harmful....
...to do so would show they have been WRONG ( a nice word for "lying") from Day 1...and have caused MASSIVE damage to the Country...they will NEVER admit to that

FTA: Since it’s warmer there now than in the north, people are spending more time outdoors, reducing transmission.
I live in Michigan. Some of the counties that have the lowest case/hosp/fatality rates are in the coldest parts. (the distance from Detroit to Copper Harbor is greater than the distance from Detroit to D.C. It gets cold up there.)
It's something else. Maybe the doggone masks CAUSE covid.

Our large local hospital reporting zero patients (of any kind) in its ICU, which had been beyond capacity a few months ago.

Look, it doesn't matter if Texas lifted it's mask mandate, they stillndors won't let you into stores, restaurants, or bars without a mask. Florida has never had a State mask mandate, but the local mayors and vendors have enforced their own mandates.
Having to wear a mask drives me nuts, but I have no tolerance for anyone who gets up in my face, so to save myself the expense of bail money, I grudgingly comply.

I spent 2 full days in Dallas-Ft Worth this past week. I spent time in each city. Everywhere I went I was expected to wear a mask and asked to wear one if I forgot...or pull it up over my nose.
Just returned home from church in Oklahoma. I was one of handful not wearing a mask. I refuse to proclaim "He IS Risen" with a mask on. I am NOT sick. I am 6 weeks post second vaccine. The mask is worthless at this point.

People getting more sunshine, bodies making more Vitamin D, which keeps your immune system perking along at top effectiveness.
THAT is why there are far fewer diseases in the summer.
