In Texas, the Governor's mask mandate ended on 3/2. Cases declined for 2 weeks then hit a plateau and have begun to increase slightly. This despite the fact that many counties, particular densely populated places like Harris and Travis have maintained local mandates. Two weeks. The lag time is two to three weeks. I suspect pretty strongly this will bite us in the ass.

Reminds me of Abbott declaring the state "open for business" the week before Memorial Day 2020. On May 30th the state recorded 1100 cases. On July 15, we exceed 11,000 for the day. His life is a tribute to wishful thinking triumphing over intelligence.

Supposedly the Texas Rangers are going to fill the ballpark for their opening home game. Sounds like a perfect opportunity for a super-spreader event. 40+ thousand unmasked, anti-vaxing, boneheaded morons sitting shoulder to shoulder yelling like banshees. It'll be interested to see if Rona shows up and what she's wearing.

There is no shortage of idiots in my home state.
