Texas Covid cases going down after relaxing mask law coupled with multiple factors
- Thread starter Phil C. McNasty
- Start date
Sorry, there is no way in the world that you can argue that a week is a small sample size but a single day is not.
First you need to give specific reasons why the cases are going up, which I previously asked. You are very specific when blaming not enough N95 wearing for cases going up in Ontario. You are very specific in telling us that only lockdowns are effective. As such, I expect specific reasons why cases in Texas are going up. Referring back to the title of this thread you cannot use anything in regards to mask wearing because you would be contradicting yourself.If the numbers do go up, can I use your excuse that "other factors" beside non-use of masks are the driving cause??
Oh and what happened to your previous argument that vaccines were the factor cases kept going down, how can they now go up again if vaccines work so well??
The coach of Phil's team, Jean-Claude Pronovost, AKA jcpro, wants to pull canada-man and put sp free in goal. But sp free cannot be found anywhere. In fact, nobody has ever seen the two of them in the same place at the same time.
I'm saying BOTH are way too small of a sample size
We'll start with variants. If Texas cases are going up again it might be the new variants.
But I'll go off on a limb and predict Texas new cases wont rise by too much
We all know there is roughly a two week lag between infection and detection. That means that any changes after mid-March could be correlated to the mandate, not anything before (and since then it's starting to climb). But of course that only applies if you are interested in reality. This is just like when you pretended that no one in Ontario were wearing masks until the provincial mandate.
Thankfully many Texans (and Texas businesses) have made the choice to wear masks and require masks.
Am I only one who believes this is neverending ? I just hear cases going up snd down snd I don’t feel phased at all. Don’t get me wrong it’s just what more can we do? I’ve been doing everything by the book and still we are seeing no progress.
It’s very despairing. I’m not gonna put any attention to Texas cause it’s not relevant to me and I truly don’t see any point in getting worked over something that is out of my control.

Unfortunately, not everyone has been as vigilant. If they were, we'd be in better shape than we are. We can only do what we can as individuals.
That post was in jest, you genius. It was in response to Osborne's small sample size.
Next time I'll put a smiley at the end so you'll clue in
Exactly, which is why a sample size of 36 days is relevant to proving that relaxing mask laws in Texas had no effect
You pulled that out of your ass.
You have absolutely no way of knowing what percentage of Texans are currently wearing masks
I'm talking about the ones in your "masks are useless" thread. I don't think that P. Osb. was involved in that discussion. You posted record "number of cases" with a laughing smiley like you thought it was so funny that so many people were getting sick. One day totals were a valid sample size for you then.
This is true but what does Doug do? A 12000 case a day is being modeled by May if this trend doesn't get stopped in its tracks. If this is anywhere close to being real numbers the hospitals are going to be a disaster and they are reaching those levels already with not enough trained staff and beds.

Has someone already answered how many vaccines have been administered in Texas to give a proper comparison?So on March 10th, 2021 Texas made wearing of masks no longer mandatory.
Its been exactly 1 month and 2 days, and the graph below is the result.
Today Texas had a low of just 1,400 cases. Ontario had over 4,400 cases.
Texas population is 29 million people. Ontario has about 15 million peeps.
So we had 3 times as many cases despite having only half of Texas population.
Explain that, you left-wing geniuses

Around 20 to 25% of all Texans have gotten the vaccine.
Plus you have to add about 10 to 20% immuntity from people who have natural antibodies after getting infected
That is much larger then our numbers. That has to have something to do with the numbers being lower.
Thanks for the reply.
Even the most conservative estimates say you need at least 60 to 70% herd immunity before numbers come down.
Right now they are at 45% max. Thats not enough.
You could argue that maybe its slowing down new infections a bit, but those were already on a downward trend around January 18th
False on 2 accounts. I have referred to much larger timelines then just 1 day, you are making things up.
And you are also false about me laughing at people getting sick. I explained this to you twice already, I wasnt laughing at sick people, I was laughing at stupid people who still think those flimsy masks they wear actually work.
The fact I'm explaining you this a 3rd time tells me you are intentionally harping on about this so you can deflect attention away from the fact masks dont do a damn thing, only N95 masks do.
BTW did you read JTK's thread: https://terb.cc/xenforo/threads/my-...um-mask-failed-miserably.742534/#post-7006401
Lets see you respond to that, and how it relates to the current masks most people wear
All these numbers jumble my head. Especially before coffee. I’m going to let y’all continue this thread without me.Even the most conservative estimates say you need at least 60 to 70% herd immunity before numbers come down.

See - I don’t have to give my opinion on every thread. Just every other one. LOL
