It has been more than two weeks since the full closure of Texas, and not only has the state seen no surge in cases, but all indicators of the outbreak continue to hit new lows. Meanwhile, the economic recovery in Texas is accelerating.
On Saturday (March 27), the 17th day of full deconfliction in Texas, the 7-day average confirmed rate of the virus fell to a new low of 5.27% and the hospitalization rate dropped to a new low (3,308) since last October.
Meanwhile, vaccination rates in Texas are climbing rapidly, and by March 29, the state’s vaccine supply capacity will cover all adults.
Texas Governor Abbott: “All areas of the business are allowed to be 100% open.”
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) said the state’s economy is on fire as he released the latest outbreak data for the state.
Texas has been fully open to economic activity since March 10 and has repealed the mask mandate. The Texas governor’s decision was criticized by Democrats at the Time. President Joe Biden even criticized the move to lift restrictions on the Epidemic as “prehistoric human thinking.
President Biden: “The last thing we need is prehistoric human thinking that everything is fine in the meantime, take off the masks.”
Biden’s remarks were immediately met with resistance. Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves (R) tweeted at the time, “When the outbreak numbers go down, people can evaluate their options and listen to expert advice. We should trust Americans, not insult them.”
Mississippi also lifted restrictions on economic activity during the outbreak at the same time.
