Texas Gov. Greg Abbott officially lifted the mandatory mask mandate on March 10. Two weeks later, the states COVID-19 hospitalizations have decreased
by 21 percent. The rolling average number of daily new cases decreased by almost 2,199 over the past two weeks, a 36 percent drop.

Upon hearing Abbotts announcement on March 2, Democrats and corporate media warned that death and destruction were imminent. Anthony Fauci called the
decision €œinexplicable.€� President Joe Biden called it €œNeanderthal thinking.€� Failed Senate and presidential candidate Beto ORourke called it a
€œdeath warrant for Texans.€� California Gov. Gavin Newsom said it was €œabsolutely reckless.€�
