Texas Covid cases going down after relaxing mask law coupled with multiple factors

[lenny2]

The numbers in European countries, in Ontario and now in Texas clearly show masks made no impact

Bollox!

Here are articles with some of the evidence in support of masks saving lives:

An evidence review of face masks against COVID-19

The science around the use of masks by the public to impede COVID-19 transmission is advancing rapidly. In this narrative review, we develop an analytical framework to examine mask usage, synthesizing the relevant literature to inform multiple areas: population impact, transmission...

The massive drop in rates ended when the mask mandate ended and there has only been a slow decrease since then despite a huge jump in numbers of vaccinated people. Most people would agree that likely the lack of masks has slowed the decrease in cases caused by vaccinations but thankfully we have you and your ridiculous campaign that masks are useless.

Game, set, match!

And how do you explain the massive increase during the winter, smartypants??

Well lets see shall we.......I put up a video of the crowd at the Alverez fight with 73000 souls there and that wasn't representative sample.

Then I put up a video outside of a bar on St. Patty's day and opening day for the Texas Rangers and heard crickets.

Now a video of 16000 rabid MMA fans . And it just seems none of these seem to resonate within the confines of your paradigms

Gee I wonder why........LOLOL......Just admit you are wrong........The majority of the population are not wearing masks and covid rates are plummeting,,,

And more so they haven't been wearing masks for quite a while now......

Don't forget that the Texas Rangers have played 20 home games now. Most of those games with a 3/4 full stadium.

And yet no increase in new cases

 

[Phil C. McNasty]

Yet you admit all those factors are not constant so you are full of crap as usual

Of course they're never going to stay 100% consistent, but a million people not wearing their masks in DFW shouldve caused an uptick if they really made that much difference

 

[Phil C. McNasty]

Still trying to pretend that a group of MMA fans making up 0.06% of the population is a representative sample?

You need to take a course in statistics

Being outside is reportedly about 20X safer than being in indoor poorly ventilated places. Furthermore:

They opened up March 10. At that time I don't believe they were even at 20% of their population vaccinated. Everyone thought they were crazy but infections and hospitalizations continued to decline. Once again CDC and Messiah Fauci with egg on their face.

Now it's over 50%. So according to Darth Nasty math 50 - 20 = 30, so infections should have gone down 30% since the time 20% were vaccinated. LOL.

And don't forget other factors, e.g. the ever increasing numbers of Texans who've been infected, recovered & have antibody protection against the virus, making the Texas population ever less vulnerable to infections. Thereby being a factor working to reduce the numbers of infections.

So why haven't Texas' infection numbers been skyrocketing downwards? Maybe because fewer are wearing masks & restrictions have been lifted leading to more risky behaviours.

Weather not as warm and people spending more time indoors.

...

Correct. 73,000 people from a very specific segment of society that significantly trends towards males 18-35 out of a state population of 29 million is not a representative sample.

 

[basketcase]

And how do you explain the massive increase during the winter, smartypants??

Um, because people were spending more time indoors with poorly ventilated dry air and as you admitted, there are people who don't properly follow health advice.

And the other videos......lots of women at those bars and ball games.........Interesting how you just pulled one example here that I posted though.

C'mon now you can do it. I know you have it in there some where. Just admit you were wrong.

Analysis: Those Texans ignoring social distancing guidelines? They’re probably not vaccinated

Polling suggests that along with an increasing number of vaccinated people without masks, there will be many others who are unmasked but unvaccinated — posing a public health hazard to themselves and to other unvaccinated people with whom they come into contact.

Not all science, just the science regarding surgical masks

That might be true for northern colder States/countries, but not for the warmer ones.
California for example had a huge 2nd wave, an nobody there stays inside in the winter (unless they're under lockdown)

Winter Storm 2021

As Texas faced record-low temperatures in February 2021 and snow and ice made roads impassable, the state’s electric grid operator lost control of the power supply, leaving millions without access to electricity. As the blackouts extended from hours to days, top state lawmakers called for...

Here's how a week of frigid weather and catastrophe unfolded in Texas

After a devastating week for the Lone Star state, finally some relief as temperatures rise. But many Texans have only just began recovering from the unprecedented devastation that the rounds of brutal winter storms unleashed over the past seven days.

www.cnn.com

At least 57 people died in the Texas winter storm, mostly from hypothermia

The deaths occurred in at least 25 counties. And 25 of the fatalities occurred in Harris County. Some Texas deaths were caused by carbon monoxide poisoning and medical equipment failure.
