The Neanderthals were right. That’s the story this morning after Texas Gov. Greg Abbott shared the news that Texas reported zero deaths from COVID for the first time since they began collecting data. This comes after Joe Biden called Texas, Mississippi, and other red states “Neanderthals” for daring to lift clearly ineffective business restrictions and mask mandates.

Today Texas reported:

• 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!
