Has Texas Knocked Covid-19 Out Of The Park? Rates are Falling after State Reopens!

a reply to: Lumenari
Guess you missed the "countries/places tracked by worldometers".

They track/tracked 221 places including the ships that had outbreaks, trivial but it is an accurate statement. Since none of those 25 appear on the list above Texas it wouldn't change their position anyway.

ETA: Sorry that last sentence might be wrong, places like Gibraltar and others considered territories, not countries, are above Texas on the list but, actually, if you take them out Texas would move up on te list. Texas has, in no way, knocked covid out.

You do realize that the actual topic here is death rates falling after Texas reopened things, right?

That was my point, looks good when looking at it compared to the other states in the US but not that great compared to other countries.

Comparing Texas to the other countries it would be at 16, which is why I say it is hard to consider that it knocked covid out.

Considering Texas is a major trucking hub and has a long border, it has challenges that other states and even countries don't have. Name me a country that accepts the number of migrants Texas does monthly for example

The OP wasn't talking about historically anyway anyone would assume they are referring to the drop-off in cases the past few weeks which indeed it has.

Cases and hospitalizations have dropped off pretty drastically in Texas and deaths are above level. And one should note 23.2% of Texas' deaths through March 7th were associated with nursing homes and long term care facilities that are well below the national average, Connecticut, for example, had 53.6% of their deaths were in LTC

Given Friday Night Lights is all about Texas High School Football programs, I’d say Texas understands which is the 5 yard line and which is the Goal Line more than Fauci does.

My thought here is that Covid 19 is following the same path that the Spanish flu did in the 1918 era. It got bad and the susceptible died off. Then the herd immunity kicked in and that flu became history. Technically Covid is only extremely lethal to the 60 year old plus set or already sick from something else. Survivability to it is over 80-90% plus in younger people. Near 100% in kids.

Hate to say it to the lockdown fascists' but Covid-19 is mostly finished now. And we know so much more about it than in 2020. If someone catches it now the treatment should start with a megadose of Vit. D. Then move on to Chloroquine and/or Ivermectin.

Also it's summer down there now.

It's time to get back to living.

I agree with most of what you said except it's NOT summer in Texas as yesterday was the first day of SPRING!

Just sayin...

Yes, that is why I said that covid may have burned through the majority of people it was going to kill.

If a disease spreads through a population and kills off however many people it was going to kill and the population attains herd immunity, that isn't knocking it out, that is merely surviving it.

So, yes, if the numbers in Texas are dropping it might be a good sign that it is over, or at least almost over, but it doesn't mean that they did something exceptional to halt it, they in no way knocked it out.

Cold and flu numbers always drop around this time of year.

Well...That far south Feb. not withstanding it doesn’t freeze. Though there is a difference between Amarillo vs Brownsville.

But then I’m in Iowa where we get 5-6 months of the stuff. Comparatively speaking Texas just gets sweater weather.

How many of those are people flooding over the border ill?

Is that the reason for the inaction on the border? LOL, I'd say they would never stoop that low, but when I say that, I'm proven wrong. But if Texas numbers go down, there will be some neadrathal looking folks in that house on Pennsylvania ave.

So you are saying the OP over-embellished the facts and made assumptions that supported their narrative? Basically like the MSM and virtually every post on this and any other debatable topic. Not to mention the OP posed it as a question #1 and #2 it does show that Texas' lack of restrictions and following of protocols likely didn't hurt them as the opposing view and MSM would have us to believe. #3 and most importantly who give a flying f--- the reason just be glad it's going down in some places. This country needs a break many people need to get back to work. Just like a lot of countries do.

No, so you can put away your whataboutism.

No response to #1 #2 and #3 however, So we can assume you totally dismiss those reasons as well.

a reply to: putnam6
What is there to respond to?

#1, #2 and #3 aren't even reasons for anything.

1&2 are just statements. 2 is just an observation.

Noted and thanks

Sorry for your dilemma. If it make you feel better its also happening in other parts of the jobs and wealth curve. We have a university graduate niece and her husband who had jobs in California. Both lost due to Covid-19. Both being supported by my brother.

Yet they continue to let the border be "owned" by others?

Just keep an eye on whom the real enemy is.

Best wishes

You numbers are disingenuous as in people never die?

The flu or virus has been on earth since man left the caves. So overnight in the entire history of the world man has developed a super Covid-19 vaccine. Right!? I say that sarcastically as its impossible. That's why the next generation mutation is now at hand as a front page cover story so as to cover their arse on the 1st vaccine. This will go on forever.

Just think about it.

Opening a complete State in lieu of all those above is knocking it out of the park in my opinion in this day and age of Global Repression 2021 and the crazies who run our world today.

I walked into QT today without my mask, it felt GOOD 😎

I agree but in this matter you have no clue as to what your writing about. It is what it is on Goggle and anywhere else in this matter and subject.

Whats extreme is your deflection from every actual article as referenced on my Thread. You didn't say they were fake. You just used the means of obtaining the information to imply .............. whatever.

Nah.
