Leading the charge, Texas was the first state to defy the Democrats and open their state at full capacity. Lifting the useless mask mandates and restrictions allowed residents to regain their freedom and go back to how it used to be. But the left wasn’t having it. From politicians to even President Biden, the Democrats hammered the state for their decision and warned of another COVID-19 outbreak due to their ignorance. But now that it’s been over two weeks since the state opened, let’s take a look at the numbers and see how bad Texas is getting. 

Just before the weekend, the Texas Department of State Health Services announced that the state actually saw a decrease in COVID-19 cases and deaths. Excited about the news, the department tweeted, “Update: Texans are slowing the spread with vaccines and #HealthyTexas steps. Keep it up to stop variants from reversing our progress. In the last 7 days #Texas averaged: 2,556 new cases a day, 3,581 current hospitalizations, 122 new fatalities reported a day.”

And if that wasn’t enough for you, even the media is reporting on the downward spiral Texas is seeing when it comes to COVID-19. Reporter Meiling Lee wrote, “At the time the executive order was issued, March 2, new COVID-19 cases in the state stood at 7,240 cases, with a seven-day average of 7,259 cases. That number dropped to 5,350 cases by March 10 when the executive order came into effect and the economy fully opened.”

Do you plan on getting the COVID vaccine?

Still wanting to do their part to help stop the spread of this deadly virus, Texas is making their COVID-19 vaccine available to all persons 16 years or older starting today. The Health Department tweeted their excitement, “With every dose, Texas gets closer to normal and protects more lives from COVID-19 hospitalization and death.”

So what about all the doom and gloom the Democrats promised? Right now, Democratic strongholds like New York and California are struggling to contain the virus while open states like Texas are proving that lockdowns and mandates do nothing more than strip away the freedoms of Americans. But then again, isn’t that the Democrat’s goal?
