States including Texas and Florida, which have completely reopened, are reporting fewer coronavirus cases than Michigan, Pennsylvania and New York, which have COVID-19 restrictions and mask mandates in place, according CDC data.
Texas Gov Greg Abbott ended a mask mandate on March 10 and fully reopened the state. In Florida, which doesn't have a mandate, Gov Ron DeSantis allowed businesses to fully reopen in September.
However, there are still restrictions in place for Pennsylvania, New York and Michigan, which for the last few weeks led the daily increase in COVID-19 cases.

So basically making people live life like they’re walking around in a hazmat suit was a bad idea and a more balanced approach would have been better off...someone get Fauci and Birx some smelling salts after reading this
Not hard to understand why free people who are able to spend time in the sunshine and fresh air, without wearing filthy masks all the time, would be healthier than those in other states who spend every day locked up inside in the dark, breathing recirculated air through their bacteria-ridden masks. I see so many people walking by themselves outside with masks on, or driving alone with the stupid mask. It’s obvious that these fools think that the Wuhan virus is like poison gas or something, and that it’s in the air everywhere, regardless of whether other people are nearby. Such is the delusion and fear born of political and media panic-mongering.
Abbot removed the mask mandate businesses did not. Every restaurant, grocery store, sams, Wal-Mart all have mandatory mask to enter in North Texas. Austin has local ordinances that were upheld by the state as Supreme Court as valid mandating masks. Texas is very much still masked Abbott is up for election he just made the businesses the bad guys. Texas also has vaccinated 60+% of the vulnerable population who are the most likely to get sick and end up in hospital.
You wear a mask if you want, nobody says anything if you don't.
Everything is fully open.
Masks are for the STUPID!!!!
Masks Are a Ticking Time Bomb
Not wearing a god-damned mask, regardless of what Biden and the Democrats, basement dwellers or certain Freepers demand.
One of the reasons is some politicians and health officials were pushing this early on. Here is a tweet from last summer.
Governor JB Pritzker @GovPritzker It’s simple: If you’re going out — even if it’s only for a few minutes — wear a mask to protect yourself and those around you.
Those people are waiting for the all clear from JBP.
Herd immunity and stuff...
From day one of this virus, the country didn’t need to shut down. Whoever came up with the idea, did so with nefarious reasoning.
Between riots, burnings, destruction, and a virus that finished the job of hurting everyone and stopping Trump from saving out nation.
Evil has been unleashed with the hate from the dems and media. And now we are in direct conflict with the dem party.. They are in the power seat and they know not what they are doing.. But what they do is not for our good..its to solidify their power.
God bless America again, Lord.
I ignore all the stupid mask signs at places like Walmart and have never been challenged since Abbott removed the mandate.
What Governors SAY the rules are, and what people DO, are two different things.
I believe the difference in indoor mask wearing in high-density areas where infection rates are >5% (which is where it makes a difference) is very small between states that are “open” and states that are not.
The rest of it is meaningless. Outdoor mask requirements are ending soon. Indoor masks with low infection rates (schools) are foolish.
Indoor masks in high density, high infection rate settings attenuate surges. This is true all over the world. The rest of it is ill-founded speculation.
My theory is that without a mask in normal daily life, you are more prone to continually sample amounrs of covid (a few whizzing up the the nose from time to time) that your immune system samples, catalogs, and fights. Its why the Creator has babies and small children put things in their mouth, continual sampling and cataloging.
Michigans case rate is plummeting. Down nearly 3000 in a 7 day period.

why should anyone believe anything that the cdc, fauxi, and the scientific community says about a so called “deadly virus” when they refuse to speak up about the dangers of our feral government opening the border, inviting, and then distributing thousands of disease carrying invaders across our nation during a so called “global pandemic”???...
No mask signs now at Walmart I visited in Harris County, Texas. People are gradually going maskless. I carry one in my pocket for show.
Yep. Even in Houston I ignore the signs and nobody says a word about my maskless smile.
While keeping in mind our stats are crap...
https://forward.ny.gov/percentage-positive-results-region-dashboard
NYS treats probables as new cases. Repeat positives as new cases. Asymptomatics as new cases. Insanely high cycle thresholds that result in positives as new cases.
The real new case numbers are likely far, far lower.
FL is full of geezers. Geezers are more likely to get an annual flu shot. That might mess with the numbers a bit.
