That's a first since the co-called "China virus" was first tracked in March the previous year.
White House occupant Joe Biden mocked the state when authorities dropped all mask mandates on March 10, 2021. Biden referred to Texans as "Neanderthals."
Today Texas reported:
— Greg Abbott (@GregAbbott_TX) May 17, 2021
* 0 Covid related deaths--the only time that's happened since data was tracked in March, 2020.
* the fewest Covid cases in over 13 months
* the lowest 7-day Covid positivity rate ever
* the lowest Covid hospitalizations in 11 months.
Thanks, Texans!
Take away ...
• Apparently, Neanderthals are smarter than Joe Biden and his advisors.
As the world continues its efforts to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, Texas recorded its first day ever with zero fatalities in a single day, according to Gov. Greg Abbott.
The Texas COVID-19 dashboard reports that there were zero "newly reported deaths" and 388 new confirmed cases statewide. It is important to note that this data reported to the State is preliminary in the sense that a handful of counties do not report data on the weekends anymore, so that data could potentially be backlogged to Monday.
