    It has now been 26 days since March 10th, when Texas "reopened 100%" with no statewide mask mandate; it has been 34 days since @GovAbbott announced the reopening. So far, so good. "Cases," positivity rate, hospital and ICU patients with COVID-19, and deaths are all down.pic.twitter.com/XDqRBjrK08

        "Cases" are noisy, bouncy, and uneven, for a variety of reasons. Holidays and three-day-weekends impact the reporting. They're a mess. But they're down since Texas reopened 100%, according to @TexasDSHS data. Next, let's look at the seven-day-averages to get a clearer picture.pic.twitter.com/hMiMUMLr7P

        Final death numbers lag, but those are also down so far in Texas substantially after the 100% reopening and removal of the statewide mask mandates. The average Texas "positivity rate" on COVID-19 tests is also down to record lows. Lots of great news:https://twitter.com/TheLawyerCraig/status/1378890027061633026 …

        So... amazing news in Texas! "Cases," hospitalizations, and ICU patients are all down significantly since Texas eliminated mask mandates and reopened 100%. Other indicators also down in big ways. Hardest hit? The experts:https://twitter.com/ianmSC/status/1374771610792599552 …

        The blue check meltdown over Texas removing its mask mandate was so extensive, I literally couldn’t fit all of the insanity into one thread So this is Thread #2, The Celebrity Edition!

        18 days later, the COVID-19 data continue to look good in Texas (with the most significant numbers, ICU patients and deaths, reaching their lowest levels since June 2020):https://twitter.com/WILLisms/status/1385693224149217284 …

        It has now been 52 days since @GovAbbott made his announcement that Texas would open on March 10th, "100%," without a statewide mask mandate. It has been 44 days since Texas reopened 100% with no mask mandates. The promised apocalypse has apparently been postponed yet again.
