Gov. Greg Abbott of Texas did it right. He reopened his state to 100 % despite President Joe Biden’s insulting comments that Abbott’s decision to do so was that of a ‘neanderthal.’

The COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations are continuing to a downward trend nearly more than two weeks after the state ended its mask mandate. Businesses have also reopened to full capacity.

Today Texas hit an all-time recorded low for the 7-day Covid positivity rate: 5.27%.

It's been below 6% for 5 days & below 10% for an entire month.

Covid hospitalizations declined again–now at the lowest level since October 3rd.

Vaccinations continue to increase rapidly.
