[Akita Suggagaki]

Right now Worldmeter has

Texas ranked (#3) in New Cases and (#2) New deaths or (#28) 92,360 cases /Mil (#24)1,542 Death/Mil

Mississippi ranked (#32) New Cases (#23) New Deaths or (#38) 99,348 Cases/Mil (#5)2,269 Deaths/Mil

United States Coronavirus: 29,452,366 Cases and 531,470 Deaths - Worldometer

Think they will go up now that they are lifting restrictions?

Think they will go up now that they are lifting restrictions?

Only if they redefine COVID.

People as unhealthy as they are in mississippi, they die with or with out the help of a virus.

"To listen to South Dakota Republican Gov. Kristi Noem's speech over the weekend at the Conservative Political Action Conference was to hear a success story of massive proportions when it comes to the fight against Covid-19.

"South Dakota is the only state in America that never ordered a single business or church to close," said Noem. "South Dakota never instituted shelter in place, never mandated people wear masks."
"South Dakota never even defined what an essential business is," she said.

"The crowd cheered these successes wildly! See, conservative governors like Noem didn't cower in fear from the virus and shut down their economies! And they were proven right!"

The same "Neanderthal thinking" has been advanced by several Republican governors, foremost of whom is Florida's DeSantis. Do they want to accelerate the killing of their people? Here are the facts according to Worldometer:

Covid deaths per 1 million people

Mississippi 2266
S. Dakota 2140
Texas 1542
Florida 1456

Canada 582

Yes, Canada is a good example of what Success can look like. Also Vermont 332

The states that did better than Canada are Vermont, Maine, Oregon, Alaska, and Hawaii. They should be congratulated.

Yes, please and also look at New York and California who are the polar opposites.

#1 California

And

#4 New York

The state with the highest death rates from COVID is the same state with the strictest Covid precautions.

Try again. Those #1 and #4 rankings aren’t adjusted for population.

 

[Akita Suggagaki]

Since March 3 the only significant change has been Mississippi going from #38 to #14 in Cases per million population.

The good news in Texas is that even though the governor opened the state, and dropped all efforts to contain the virus, most Texans are still wearing masks, and most businesses are requiring people to wear them if they want to enter.

That's really good news. As vaccinations increase, we might just avoid another premature opening disaster.

Isn’t that awesome? The government finally allowed people to make decisions for themselves.

Now that maybe 10% of Texans are vaccinated, that might be enough to overcome the maybe 15% of people who refuse to take precautions.

We better pray that it will be. It looks like jerk-shaming is becoming more common in Texas, so that's a good sign.

Liberty in Texas is a good thing.

Liberty in Texas is a good thing.

The best estimate is about 11 years. But it's coming.

Huh?

The top 8 states with the highest 7-day moving average of daily new cases/100,000 are all states with mask mandates.

New Jersey currently leads the pack at 45 per 100,000. NYT classifies them as higher and staying high. In fact, all of those 8 states with mask mandates are classified the same.

Nearly 2 weeks after restrictions were relaxed, Texas currently clocks in at 29th with 13 per 100,000. NYT classifies them as lower and staying low. Iowa (31st) and Mississippi (38th) (both states also dropped their restrictions) are also in this category.

Texans figured out after their smart grid failed, that their government wasn’t that smart after all.

Yeah...okay.

Yeah...okay.

Nice we can agree.
