Be like Texas

Florida never closed down, be like florida

Their covid rates are low too.

And guns are a plenty

Everyone knows guns kill covid...

Guns don’t kill Covid, people . . . I mean, vaccines do.

Yep

Shoot people with covid

The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.

FL rates are the highest in the country. This is even higher than it was a couple weeks ago. Keep in mind California has 20 million more people than Florida does.

We’re talking about Texas, not Florida

Here's Texas: 20 million people vs California's 40 million.

Texas is one of the only states that is having covid imported from Mexico, by Biden's border policy. Every day hundreds of covid positive people are being allowed in and set free in Texas.

Texas has 28 million people. California has 39 million.

So why isn’t Texas up high?

Texas has less deaths than California. Focus on that. Not cases. I have COVID right now so I’m one of those cases

"cases" lol

Hallelujah Luckily For ME I Live In Texas

Me too

Party On - 531349.jpg [image not found] Upvote for you!

And the states that are doubling down on the mask mandates are again rising. But they will blame that on the states that lifted the mandates because facts don't matter to them.

The party of "science" is really the party of lies and misinformation.

California has 40 million people. Florida has 20 million people. California has a mask mandate. Florida doesn't and reopened a couple weeks ago. Huge difference in 7 day average infections.

I've seen the facts.

Texas 7 day average three times higher than California. Texas has 28 million people and California has 40 million. Just saying. You all are celebrating over lies... AGAIN.

Lies? No.

What facts are you basing your suspicion that these are lies on?

https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/usa/texas/

The cases in Texas are down 50% and still dropping. The "unmasking" didn't make things worse.

Oh no....people gonna catch cold in 70 to 80 degree weather!!!

It’s the infection rates that matter. The deaths.

Exactly great meme :D #BELIKETEXAS

7 day average disagrees.

Hopefully it's temporary and people continue getting vaccinated.

Probable cases != cases.

You've got to go to "Maybe-Covid" Land to get any sort of bump in numbers, and GEE I can't imagine how those could be inaccurate...

https://txdshs.maps.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html#/3f048ced32804271aafe8b9640bcb4a7

I'm assuming by != , you mean ≠...

And fair enough.. if you go based on your website and look strictly at confirmed cases, the 7 day avg in Texas may not actually going up. I might argue "probable" ≠ "maybe" but I don't know what criteria they use to determine those figures. I would also argue that in any case, if you think the amount of confirmed cases = the total amount of actual cases, you're playing yourself.

But to go back to the chart from your source.. the lowest dips seem to be rising, the highest peaks seem to be lowering. It seems if anything, cases overall are relatively flat or flattening.... which would mean I'm incorrect to say cases are going up, but it would also mean the OP is incorrect in saying they're going down.

I am hoping that (contrary to what I once believed), corona actually is somewhat seasonal and that the end of the winter, combined with steady vaccinations and other precautions, will get the new cases going back to legit, obvious declines.. and that more contagious vaccine-resistant strains don't simply replace the original corona..
but I guess we shall see.

See that line, that means cases are going down.

??
Assuming you're looking at the chart I provided above, the shows cases WERE going down. They now seem to be starting to go back up.. the curve looks like the bottom of a bowl flattening out and then beginning to go up.

What goes up, must come down

Ugh ..
*it shows cases WERE

I seem to be getting sloppy with my grammar.

Anyway yes.. what goes up must come down. If everyone dies, the new cases per day rate will be zero and we'll finally be able to relax.
:P

Hmm what’s this?

Looks kind of like

1. Some states daily new cases are flattening out... like the bottom of a bowl. (What goes down and flattens out, might go back up...?.)

2. Some states daily new cases have already flattened out and are now going back up.

Not sure what your point here was. ? I'm aware that state's daily covid cases do not move in unison.

California: going down
Texas: going down
Georgia: going down

To describe what is currently happening as "going down" seems somewhat inaccurate... I think it would've been more accurate a month or 2 ago.. I mean in January/February it was clearly declining.

The graph shows cases from the past 60 days. That’s two months

Correct.... So you might say.. over the span of the past 2 months, it has declined.

Or

2 months ago it was declining.

But to describe what is happening now as declining seems a bit inaccurate.

“7 day average disagrees”

Correct. The 7 day average line on my 30 day chart clearly shows the number of cases had been going down..... but it seemed to have changed course. Maybe it will once again continue going down after this... maybe not.

You can’t look at COVID cases through the small window of one week

Who is looking at a 1 week window?? I'm looking at the 60 day graphs you posted. Initially there was a steep decline. Then slowly that decline began becoming less steep... Getting it to where we are now... Relatively flat.

And NOW is what we're talking about.. Not 60 days ago. I mean the OP meme clearly says "now".

Again, age groups 0-65 have a 99% survival rate, 65+ have a 95% survival rate. Everyone’s not going to die

And if we know that anything is constant, it is the effect that never-mutating viruses have on a given population.

[Le sarcasm]

I was also joking about everyone dying.

Everyone will probably not die from covid. Roughly half a million have though and that's nothing to sneeze at.

Half a million in the past year

Yes.

Ikr

When/if someone close to you ends up in the hospital or dead from this, maybe you will understand. If not, consider yourself amongst the lucky.

I’m saying you think everyone’s dead

If you're talking about when I said new cases will go to zero when everyone dies.. that was a joke. I thought I made that clear.(?)

There is no way that covid nor even any of the newer variants, could kill everyone.

Call me when we hit 75 million

People on imgflip last March: Covid is nothing, the 2017-2018 seasonal flu killed 61,000 people!!

Covid: ends up killing more than 8x as many as the 2017-2018 flu season. (The highest flu season death toll going back decades.)

You: Call me when we hit 75 million!

Me: Let me guess..."Pro life"?

Lol

It’s generally going down. And look at the 60 day averages

If that chart was a stock, I'd be considering buying right now.
