3% increase is through the roof? I hope you remember that when your boss gives you a 3% raise.
I said RELATIVE increase. When we are seeing we were seeing double digit drops in week over week new cases, but now are seeing small week over week increase, that means the RELATIVE increase is large.
Stated differently, we were seeing 10-20% drops in cases, yet now we have a slight increase. All I'm asking is what caused the change

2 weeks since Gov. Abbot lifted the mask mandate and re-opened Texas to 100% and cases in Texas are still declining.

On March 13th the 7-day average of daily new cases reported reached just under 56,000. Over the past 10 days, we have seen a very slight rise to almost 58,000. This is certainly small, but given the massive drop in cases we've seen since January, and the proliferation of the vaccine, I was hoping we'd see more significant reduction in cases.
I hate to say it but why do cases matter? Cases do not matter if people are just getting mildly sick and then they are fine.
What does matter is hospitalizations and deaths. And to the best of my knowledge, hospitalizations and deaths are dropping, as is expected when you get the most at risk people vaccinated.

Honestly it is a small jump. Could be statistical noise. Could be the opening up of society because the most at risk people are already vaccinated and who cares about cases if people are not being hospitalized and dying.
So honestly, I don't care about theories, and I honestly don't care about cases. Cases have been are will be not important.
Hospitalizations and deaths are what count.

If you have 10,000 illegals crossing the border every day, and 10% of them are positive when they get here that is an additional 1,000 positive results. If this 1,000 infects another 1,000 due to close contact with 1000's of other illegals, then that is another 1,000 per day.
56,000 + 2,000 = 58,000.
If democrats WANT to SAVE lives, they will close the border until COVID is over and ALL states re-open including schools, restaurants, gyms, etc.
Say it Hiden, "No one can come into the US illegally until COVID is over."

Cases do not mean all that much - they dial up / down the PCR cycle rate which has huge affect on the % of positive cases (notice all summer there was a case pandemic but ICU units were not overwhelmed & death rates didn't increase the same as the case rate).
Remember the entire NFL season training camp thru the Super Bowl there were only two seriously ill participants (one older coach, one player) this is including over 10,000 or more (i forget the official stats, you can look them up) - this including staff, traveling, players w/ hands on contact etc .....
Think about that - all of the older coaches and no deaths, insanely small % amount of actually "ill" and only 2 of thousands seriously ill and they recovered.
Just keep this in mind when the fear mongering builds as well as the fact that even the CDC in the Fall admitted that only 4% of the total covid19 death count were deaths due solely to covid (ie - not a car crash victim that died of their injuries but tested positive for covid19 upon autopsy).
Then, of the total death count (which is "deaths WITH covid" not "by covid") the far majority are over 70, most much older and near half nursing home / long care residents.
The death / ICU rates on the rise are key to many people.
Keep in mind too that FL has been very "open" for months and no serious increase in deaths / hospitals overwhelmed (this includes travelers from around the country visiting FL to go to Disney World and other attractions that have been open since last summer - doesn't it seem odd that Disney World / Hotels can remain open during such a deadly pandemic?
The NFL with it's total of 10,000 or perhaps even many more full staff / TV crew / team crew / etc completed and entire season traveling the country during this pandemic.
The pro Motocross and Supercross seasons were also completed starting last June and are in full swing this year - with fans in the stadiums and on NBC Sports Network - not one of the over 200 riders per week (plus 2,000 plus traveling supercross staff - mechanics, track workers, truck drivers, NBC TV staff etc) not one person has been hospitalized yet - not even one known rider of over 200 total has tested covid positive and missed a race - then think of football players that did miss games due to a positive test - how many of them were "sick"?
So don't freak out about the "case rise" just yet - also remember that many test positive post vaccine and the vaccine is being rolled out which could acct for a rise in cases.
The media portrayed the case rise last summer as a NYC March / April repeat but nothing of the sort took place.
