TX corona update:
Hospitals are now fully reporting! If we look at last date where hospitals were fully reporting (7/22) compared to now, # of ppl currently hospitalized have decreased by 1.3k.
Positive % also decreased again to lowest since 6/25.
Hopefully turning a corner here

Yep. Dallas has had cases under 1000/day for a week now. Hopefully we can keep going in that direction.

Good news, Texas.

It's the same curve everywhere in the world masks or no masks, lockdown or no lockdown. This thing is going to run wild at some point spike and then go away. Should have never locked down. Utter stupidity

The timing of the downturn is interestingly aligned to the mask mandates in the state. Funny how that seems to always align.
quote:
Three weeks after Gov. Greg Abbott required Texans to wear masks, epidemiologists and disease modelers say they are cautiously optimistic that the mandate is helping the state turn a corner in its efforts to contain an outbreak that has killed more than 4,500 Texans.
Throughout the summer, Texas’ coronavirus outbreak became grimmer by the day and by almost every metric: case counts, hospitalizations, deaths. But in the past week or so, Abbott and some of the state’s public health officials began to see hope in the daily case counts as they appeared to stabilize.
A growing body of evidence points to widespread mask-wearing as an effective strategy for containing the virus, and one North Texas researcher’s statistical analysis published this week argued that local mask orders in the region reduced viral transmission enough to avoid a lockdown. The governor, who has faced blistering criticism for his handling of the pandemic from members of his own political party, immediately seized upon those findings in defense of his statewide order.
The Texas Tribune thanks its sponsors. Become one.
“A community lock down is not needed as long as masks & other distancing strategies are used,” Abbott wrote Monday on Twitter, citing the analysis by Rajesh Nandy, a professor of biostatistics and epidemiology at the University of North Texas Health Science Center.

The didnt spike until 3 weeks After they mandated masks

Amazing how people are so resistant to masks
If it lets business stay open - why the hell not

I have yet to see this question answered.

If masks prevent transmission, how does that make a virus "go away"?
Peru locked down hard.
Now they're getting pounded!
Hard!
Ppl gotta get infected.
Only path forward without a safe, effective vaccine.

It's time we had a rigorous mask debate

I have yet to see this question answered.
I mean, is it really safe to consume alcohol? Or serve fatty foods? That could save more lives than covid if they banned business from serving/allowing that

It appears they made masks mandatory outside the home on June 19 ( LINK) and their daily new cases peak appears to have been around July 22nd ( LINK), or about 34 days (~4 weeks) following the mandate...a similar timeframe to what Texas has seen.

So California started peaking and having more of a spread AFTER they mandated masks.

Bruh, a little too early to be high as balls

Damn quick with the edit

So we had on state who decreased cases drastically after mandating masks
And we had a different state increase cases drastically after mandating masks
What does it mean?
It means this is a fricking virus with asymptomatic patients that isnt very deadly, so containing it with cloth covering does jack shite
I particularly dont get angry specifically about masks, its the thought of govt mandates issued on the fly with something that has zero true material control
