It has been 24 days since Texas "reopened 100%" and eliminated statewide mask mandates.
COVID-19 "cases," hospital patients, and ICU patients all dropped again today in Texas.
With 1,250 "cases" reported today in Texas, the 7-day-average of "cases" = down 23.4% since Texas fully reopened without a statewide mask mandate.
Down 49.3% since @GregAbbott_TX announced it March 2nd.
The 7-day-average "case" level is down 87.9% from the peak back in January.
According to @TexasDSHS data, the number of patients in Texas hospitals who also tested positive for COVID-19: down 35.5% since Texas reopened "100%" without a statewide mask mandate.
Down 48.4% since @GovAbbott's announcement.
Down 80% from the peak.
Texas ICU patients who also tested positive for COVID-19: down 36.97% since Texas reopened "100%" with no statewide mask mandate on March 10th.
Down 49.7% since @GregAbbott_TX's announcement on March 2nd.
Down 76.6% since the peak.
So... great news in Texas! "Cases," hospitalizations, and ICU patients all down since Texas eliminated mask mandates and reopened 100%. Deaths are also down, but those data always lag, so we can revisit that later.
The people in this thread hardest hit:
Pointed out by @TheLawyerCraig, today’s Texas “positivity rate” (3.88%) dropped below 4% for the first time... ever?
