Texas COVID Rates Continue to Drop

It’s entertaining to read the story, which appears to struggle to admit the good news. From the story: … at least for now, the most dire predictions of a new major wave of cases in Texas have not come true, prompting a mix of theories from public health experts. Those experts caution that a major increase in cases could still come and it may still be too early to tell whether Abbott’s decisions to lift the statewide mask mandate and allow businesses to fully reopen could prompt a new wave of infections. Still, daily new cases and the positivity rate have leveled off over the past month, while deaths and hospitalization have gone down substantially (Texas Tribune). 

Meanwhile, from left-wing Michigan governor Gretchen Whitmer: “We have some of the strongest protocols in the country and yet this virus has come raging back” (Twitter).
