When Texas lifted the mask mandate, Democrats and leftists from both within and outside of the state cursed the name of Governor Greg Abbott and predicted that doom would befall the Lone Star state erelong. In foreboding declarations, they proclaimed from the mountaintops that COVID spikes would hit the state, killing its foolish people that didn’t heed the warnings of their god-king Fauci.

Now, these prophets of death look like the guy on the corner wearing a cardboard sandwich board with “the end is nigh” scrawled on it with the marker they just got done sniffing.
In truth, since lifting the mask mandate, COVID numbers have gone down across the board.
According to WFAA earlier this month, Texas is hitting “record lows” of COVID infection cases:
Texas health officials reported fewer than 1,000 new COVID-19 cases Monday for the first time since early June 2020.
This is one of many statistics that have been declining across the states the past few months.Last Monday, the state opened up vaccines for all Texans 16 years and older. So far, 16,653,045 Texans have received a COVID-19 vaccine dose and 4,561336 people have been fully vaccinated.
State health officials reported 837 cases of COVID-19 Monday. This is the first time there have been fewer than 1,000 new cases since June 8 when there were 638.
Texas has had fewer than 5,000 reported cases every day since March 3.
The state’s current 14-day average is 2,225. This is the lowest it has been since June 6-19 when it was 2,158. The record-high 14-day average happened from Jan. 4-17 when it was 18,915.
So no spike. The self-proclaimed science followers of the left have new data to factor into all their scientism that I’m sure they’ll get right on to factoring as soon as they possibly can.
This does lead to more questions, however.
For one, we can plainly see that vaccines are working. As WFAA reported, over 16 million Texans have received the vaccine. Along with the ever-increasing warming weather, COVID is becoming harder to transmit. Then, on top of that, it’s been proven time and again that lifting lockdowns and mask mandates has little no effect on whether COVID is a problem. In fact, we have evidence that lifting lockdowns help alleviate COVID infection rates.
So now you have to ask yourself why people want continued mask mandates and lockdown measures. If vaccines are working, why do we need to still play by all the rules we were playing by when we didn’t know much about the virus to begin with?
Moreover, you have to wonder why the left isn’t overjoyed by this news. Why they seem to be clinging on to some hope that things will get worse.
Seems to me that people would be happier with further suffering if it meant their political side is proven right. Never mind that lockdowns ruin lives, cause massive depression, and destroy economies. All that matters is that those Republicans and conservatives get theirs.
This is what happens when politics becomes your life. It literally drives you insane.
Do people in Texas cities wear masks?
The conclusion is clear. Chinese made masks cause Covid.
And let’s face it - the huge death rate at the beginning was caused by medical malpractice. Ventilators killed people, and the deaths didn’t drop until the hospitals quit using them as a first choice of treatment.
Then, of course, there was Godfather Cuomo, for whom killing grannies wasn’t personal, it was just business.
Then, of course, there was Godfather Cuomo, for whom killing grannies wasn’t personal, it was just business.>>> and Wolf in PA murder 60% of the deaths in our old folks homes as well. So with all that the stats are completely skewed and meaningless.
cnn & msnbc are still telling them they will die.
Black folks more so. They are really scared.
For a virus that has a 99.8% survival.
ALL the medical people I meet at their homes, none wear a mask and laugh 'cause my company requires me to wear a respirator.
County Judge Lina Hidalgo is keeping Houston/Harris County at Covid Threat Level Red even though daily new cases are 10% of what they were in January 2021.
It’s not about a virus.
RE: Do people in Texas cities wear masks?
Yes they do. But it is NOT COMPULSORY.
It’s like Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong and South Korea long before we even heard of Covid. People who have cold or bad coughs have the habit of wearing masks there as a form of courtesy to others.
In the deep blue North-east I still hear people talk about the any-day-now surge that will wipe out Texas and set us back as a country when we were so close to ending if we just hung on a bit longer because they were so reckless.
What did anyone expect with Biden allowing illegals, many Covid positive, infiltrate Texas
Yes , every business I have been too still requires masks of the employees and customers. Sam’s Club, Wal-Mart, liquor stores, Texas DPS office, county tax office, Tom thumb, every fast food joint. Sports bars the staff the patrons to get in the door to the tables. Nothing changed it’s just abbot is not the bad guy the corporations are and they don’t care what you think they only care what some liability lawyer does and the insurance companies behind them. I see one no mask for every ten that do.
At least use the accurate number it’s 98.2% survival for all age cohorts
Here real well reviewed science

Masks reduce the oxygen supply, affecting o2 saturation, and at the same time have people breathing back in bacteria and such that they are expelling or are inhaling that is on their masks, potentially causing other issues.
Texas Congress Critter Ron Wright is one of them.
That’s cause masks never did work and likely only made things worse
I’m just a deplorable Neanderthal here on Buffalo Bayou. Academy is pretty much sold out of guns and ammo.
CDC encouraged people who were Covid positive to go vote in person anyway on election day.
This is not about a virus
His conclusion that ‘vaccines are working’ is not correct.
I want to see 2 equal texas populations compared, one with the vaccine and one without.
IMHO, covid is going away on its own.
“It’s not about the virus.”
Nope. And it never was. It was, and still is, about control and submission to our new overlords. They are apoplectic now because Texas and Florida are exposing the pandemic for the scam it is.
And vaccinations have nothing to do with it </s>
Most doctors have committed malpractice by withholding proven early treatment. Had our doctors been more competent, deaths and hospitalizations would have been much lower.
