Texas Covid cases going down after relaxing mask law coupled with multiple factors
- Thread starter Phil C. McNasty
- Start date
Oh no, my mom would have hung you from the cherry tree in her back yard and then quietly buried you.
Except you already admitted the first two weeks have nothing to do with the impact.
Just another case where you posted some headline you thought made you look smart without bothering to think about what it actually says.
Unfortunately for your argument, the mask mandate ending wouldn't have had any impact until roughly the 24th, long after the drop in cases. Since then there is no noticeable change. During masks, the cases dropped massively. After masks, cases have stayed roughly steady. Your point (as is often the case) is bullshit.
Even if the stats showed a drop in cases, it wouldn't make sense. One would have to consider that there are other factors at play.
If some dude added a Big Mac Meal every day to his diet and lost 20 pounds, one would not just assume, oh Big Macs = fat loss. We would assume something else is going on like the Mac replaced other foods to a degree to which he went into calorie deficit, or maybe he is "Tren"ing hard, eating "Clen", "Test"ing his limits, "debol"ishing his obsticles "anavar" giving up. Or maybe tapeworms. Whatever you wouldn't just accept the Big Macs cause weight loss argument.
My mother would just lie there and let him do his business. She has been dead for 19 years, I am guessing she is past caring.
Wrong! Covid median incubation period is 5 to 6 days. That means we should have seen an increase in new cases around the 15th of March (5 days after masks were relaxed). We didnt see that, and numbers have been going down slightly ever since.

I cant help it if you never finished high school and don't understand basic science, math and statistics
Its not just me saying it, the Texas Tribune apparently agrees with me as well:

Texas coronavirus cases haven't surged since Gov. Greg Abbott lifted the mask order. Experts warn it's too soon to celebrate.
Daily new cases and the positivity rate have leveled off over the past month, while deaths and hospitalization have gone down substantially.

When I first saw this I thought your sig pic was a picture of his Mom since it was a new one I hadn't seen before.
I was thinking whoo hooo Squeezer!
If my Mom pranced around in a bikini like Phil's young lady and was showing off sexy tan lines like that I'd be calling Andy and see if he has room on the roster.
The only condition would be no righties from this board allowed to book her.
Thats gotta be the creepiest thing I've heard on this site yet.
And given this is Terb thats quite saying something
Come on softy, mine is just kidding around as opposed to the nonsense you post trying to pass off as factual. LMAOThats gotta be the creepiest thing I've heard on this site yet.

At least that's the case for people who don't know the meaning of words. The MEDIAN period is 5-6 days.
But even using 5-6 days, the significant drop in Texas' numbers happened in February and the numbers have been fairly steady over the past 3 weeks.
And as you keep ignoring,
Texas lets residents unmask, but many are keeping covered as orders meant to slow virus end
After nearly a year, Texans were officially allowed to gather unmasked Wednesday as a statewide mask mandate ended on the anniversary of Dallas County’s first...

"We still have about 80% of Texans, as recently as this month, reporting that they are wearing masks when they go out," Henson said.
p.s. Do you know the difference between "not surged" and "dropped"Its not just me saying it, the Texas Tribune apparently agrees with me as well:

I wonder if you read as far as the byline.
Daily new cases and the positivity rate have leveled off over the past month
They did a poll. Polls are often wrong.
Either way, many Texans are not wearing masks and that number probably rises every day since new cases continue to fall

Again, cases have declined slightly since March 10th. I cant help it if you dont know how to read a graph
Love how you desperately try to ignore any evidence you don't like, even when it is numerous sources from the place in question.
p.s. Why are you still using March 10 after you admitted that the soonest we would see an impact would be March 15 and up to the 24th? More importantly, why did you start a thread about the massive drop in cases in Texas when the vast majority of that drop happened before the Gov even announced his plan?
How's this, if mask use dropped by 20% shouldnt Texas be seeing a 20% increase in new cases??
Let that question sink in for a bit
Question,
If Doug went apeshit, lost his marbles like Abbot and decided to tell Ontarians to remove their masks if they want to, how many do you actually believe would with numbers being where numbers are would actually listen?
