But the data in Texas shows that the lockdowns and mask mandates preceded the peak turning down back in July and reopening preceded the larger peak of Dec and Jan. 1 Link to comment

Scarlet Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 Dude should be charged with criminally negligent homicide. Just so we don't get confused his supporters claim to be pro-life. However, pro-birth ≠ pro-life evidently 1 Link to comment

knapplc Posted April 6, 2021 Author Share Posted April 6, 2021 It's tragic we've reached herd immunity this way. Nearly 600,000 dead. Just unfathomable. 1 Link to comment
Guy Chamberlin Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Yeah, if you've been tracking COVID deaths, the number always go way down over the weekend, which actually show up in Sunday and Monday numbers, then climb back up, often doubling, on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Virtually every single week of the pandemic. 222 is good news indeed, but we've had a lot of low numbers followed by quadruple digit deaths. Including just last week. Link to comment

Archy1221 Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 I don’t think anyone expected the Easter number to be the peak. Posted it more cause if two notes...1) the low is a 1 year low which is noteworthy and the chart is a falling knife chart which is awesome when accounting for Covid daily deaths 2 Link to comment
