In Texas, the state mask mandate was lifted March 2, 2021. COVID-19 cases declined significantly in the weeks and months after the mask mandate was lifted, and only recently did TX cases start to rise again. This has nothing to do with mask mandates and appears more likely to be a seasonal surge.

In California, a state mask mandate was imposed June 19, 2020. After several months of mandatory masking, in December 2020, COVID-19 cases in California began to surge, reaching a single-day record on January 5, 2021 (74,000 cases reported).

Florida never had a statewide mandate, but some counties were enforcing mask mandates last year. Counties in Florida that imposed mask mandates last year did not demonstrate significantly better COVID-19 outcomes, in terms of hospitalizations and deaths, than counties that had no mask mandates.

Beautiful fact that is IGNORED BY THE MEDIA in Florida:

Florida never had a statewide mandate, but some counties were enforcing mask mandates last year. Counties in Florida that imposed mask mandates last year did not demonstrate significantly better COVID-19 outcomes, in terms of hospitalizations and deaths, than counties that had no mask mandates.

Emphasis added!

” appears more likely to be a seasonal surge”

I am guessing more the cause is more than likely due to an infected illegal mine parasite surge.

Florida is now saying 17k new infections on worldometer for Tuesday. But they have not reported any cases the previous two days. So is that 17k over 3 days, or is that just for Tuesday? Also showing 34 deaths.

Whichever side of the masking debate a person takes they must understand that masking has absolutely nothing at all to do with transmission of a respiratory virus. One can catch the communist chinese virus through any number of ways and and various situations, but whether you catch the communist chinese virus or not is unrelated to whether you wear a mask or if you keep in in a biohazard waste jar at home. Both applications of masking offer the same level of protection against the communist chinese virus.

I think there are studies that show a proper sealed shop mask which is p or n95 or 100 does prevent the virus from entering your airways. When they forced me to wear a mask in the store, i always wore my p95 shop mask 3M 6000 https://www.amazon.com/3M-Safety-142-6100-Reusable-Respirator/dp/B01HMF7V0M/ref=sr_1_7?crid=3EEJDOGH0ZFJW&dchild=1&keywords=6100+respirator&qid=1628022695&s=industrial&sprefix=6100+%2Cindustrial%2C169&sr=1-7

You can get p100 filters that work great as well. These masks are not allowed in the doctors office i go to. Why? They protect me not you.

Boy, the Dems are really attacking him. I actually donated to one of his fund appeals yesterday. I hope he runs for President (I don’t think Trump will) and they’re probably scared that he will.

I’m in a liberal northeast state with no mask mandates and nobody is wearing masks and reported deaths are close to zero.

Has to be another explanation.

Not that Florida has that many but it is higher.

Sweden did not lock down but protected those at risk.

Sweden’s death rate is similar to European nations that locked down hard, actually right in the middle.

Sweden did not destroy their economy.

Sweden did it right as Desantis is.
