Texas COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations continue to see a downward trend more than two weeks after the state scrapped its mask mandate and allowed businesses to reopen at full capacity.
On Saturday, Texas' seven-day COVID positivity rate reached an all-time low of 5.27 per cent, while hospitalizations fell to their lowest level since October, according to the latest state data.
The state recorded 2,292 new coronavirus cases, about 500 fewer on average from last week, and 107 new deaths.
The number of people hospitalized with coronavirus, meanwhile, dipped to 3,308.
The latest figure marks a significant decline in hospitalizations in the state which had seen levels soar past 14,000 for a couple of days in January.

Unfortunately it's too early to clearly see the effects of reducing restrictions. It can take 3-4 weeks for the changes to show in the data.

Any great reductions in infections, deaths etc are good progress. This sort of proclamation from extreme biased outlets is probably more of the 'Stop the restrictions', whatever the cost though. Did you reach a conclusion OP about what Texas' move means for the UK? |

Too early to see effects, federal government land still requires masks, individual businesses still may require masks.
Testing in the US way down, confounding factor.
Daily Mail not known for good science reporting.
Not convinced. |

^^This .... what you see now is the impact of lockdown from 3-6 weeks ago.... you need to check figures in 4-6 weeks time to see if it’s actually “reduced” numbers - I am unsure how wearing masks and socially distancing or being in lockdown would cause cases to rise  and the reverse would cause them to fall... |

They are of the same mind as some Tory MP's who want a full opening up now if not last week.. |

I think you have been reading false information? the last time I looked there was a marked increase in the number of deaths in Texas after they decided to abandon face masks .. so unless something has changed? I cant see the trend changing over there.
It could all be just fudged data to hoodwink the locals into thinking they don't have to wear a mask and that Texas is somehow immune to the virus so they can avoid it altogether .. which backs up the general stereotype of a Texan..
Ah.. just noticed its the Daily Fail .. not the most trustworthy of news sources.. but still .. who knows with America what is really happening over there as the truth is generally very well glossed over |

Also another point, didn't Texas get hit with snow storms a couple of weeks ago where there were power cuts and water shortages. Could this be another factor? With so much snow people couldn't physically move about and interact with each other? |

I think the mask mandate removal said that municipalities weren't allowed to override it - but they did it anyway because wtf state government. |

Taking precautions during a pandemic isn't "panicking", and ignoring reality and carrying on as usual isn't anything to be proud of. |

"Average americans are not concerned about covid. See it everyday. No panicking just going on with normal life.
Do you think that has effected the number of cases/deaths they have had?"
Yes I do I see it everyday. Look at spring break. Record amount of flights and people. |

And yet we are. Never said I was proud of wear masks in public. It's just the general consensus. |

"Lucky Texans!
Possibly more evidence that a warm climate does more to slow spread than face coverings etc. "
Warm climate? People were freezing to death inside their houses last month, due to the same politicians, who have stopped taking precautions against covid, having decided that Texans didn't want to follow federal government guidelines on how to weather proof an energy grid.
The Texas power grid was isolated, the power companies cut corners and gambled that they wouldn't have extreme weather.
So not the most trustworthy people.

It was more an example of how republican politicians in Texas are not motivated to care for their constituents.
But unlike Florida (R) and New York (D) they have not been caught manipulating the figures. |

It is Texas the constituents are mostly republican. It's what they want same as florida. Florida is booming with spring break. Surly it's not all republicans going there. |

Like it or not like I said alot of people want the freedoms compared to lockdown life. See it everyday. It's not always on the news. You have the option of staying home and collecting unemployment if you do not feel safe. |

If any of that is true, that's great news for texas. Not sure of any relevance to the UK.
Texas.. Size 700k sq km
UK.. Size 240k sq km
Texas..population 29m
Uk.. Population 67m
Very different demographics. |

So my observation everyday politicians are really not effecting covid daily life. Been the same since day 1. That is the issue with higher deaths not political just people not overly concerned. Tragic as it is. |

If this administration any better then why isn't the federal troops in Florida and texas forcing a lockdown. It's the states decision not federal. |

"Texas COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations continue to see a downward trend more than two weeks after the state scrapped its mask mandate and allowed businesses to reopen at full capacity.
On Saturday, Texas' seven-day COVID positivity rate reached an all-time low of 5.27 per cent, while hospitalizations fell to their lowest level since October, according to the latest state data.
The state recorded 2,292 new coronavirus cases, about 500 fewer on average from last week, and 107 new deaths.
The number of people hospitalized with coronavirus, meanwhile, dipped to 3,308.
The latest figure marks a significant decline in hospitalizations in the state which had seen levels soar past 14,000 for a couple of days in January.

quite a few other states have done the same and scrapped lock downs ...
And your point is what exactly?
Maybe we should all get guns.
No its the boots and hats they wear.
That and only 20 % of all americans trust the federal government. That in itself is a issue with a pandemic.
Interesting point... I wonder after the last year if people trust politicians more or less or the same amount... Can't imagine its done many favours for most politicians...
Jacinda aside of course who seems to have done well and for some odd reason
The sturgeon...
The pandemic has been brutal on alot of politics. But to think it's the politicians fault is kind of counter intuitive. Atleast here in the states. Personal opinion the distrust is there people do not want to abide.

It's nutty one side screams lockdown the other doesn't want lockdown. But yet both people from both sides ignoring lockdowns. So how is the scientific data going to be correct. Only model available is going to be the UK. But that only going to give a density approach to a pandemic. |

I find it remarkable how many posters are reluctant to accept that any strategy other than the most severe lockdown could possibly work. The source of the article has been attacked, Americans ridiculed, data manipulated and those who have questioned the efficacy of lockdowns scoffed at.
At the moment Texas, Florida and some other states are showing that there are viable alternatives to lockdown. Whether they work long term remains to be seen...which is exactly the same position we’re all in.

One of the reasons lockdown doesn't work here. Laws vs freedoms. It will always be because of government mistrust the latter would apply. 20% only agree imagine if we have a national lockdown. |

I think some people are implying because removing lockdown down (they had been in one) in a different state, with different demographics, different ages, different racial mix, different climate, different public transport, different living accommodation, different health profile, different lifestyle, different population density and on and on... That therefore it is the solution to apply to all populations.
If it works for texas, that is brilliant for them. Just because it works there, at this point in time, doesn't mean it works everywhere at all points in time.
One size does not fit all.
Good for texas... We are doing better now... Be patient, we will get there. |

There is no half here I see it everyday go read up on spring break if it is a "half " issue. Normal life as best as possible. Surely you can google the amish stance on the virus. They are not political at all. Everyday life. Does not need to be politicized.  |
