Two Months After Biden Blasted "Neanderthal Thinking", Texas Reports Zero COVID Deaths

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott elicited criticism from Dr. Fauci and a host of Democrats when he decided to drop all COVID-19-linked restrictions in the Lone Star State back in March.

Now, as states across the country are falling in line with President Biden's aggressive new mask guidance Texas is reporting a milestone that many of these critics once believed unthinkable: On Sunday, the state's Department of State Health Services reported its first day without a single COVID-19 deaths since March 21, 2020.

President Biden memorably slammed Republicans in Texas as "Neaderthal-thinking" Republicans.

President Biden on Texas and Mississippi lifting their statewide mask mandates: "I think it's a big mistake...It's critical, critical, critical that they follow the science" pic.

That good news was quickly overshadowed when state officials reported 23 new deaths on Monday, the highest daily count in two months.

Still, as the Houston Chronicle admits, it's clear Texas has "Turned a corner" and that the takeaway from the zero-death day is that the state has done remarkably well in combating COVID. And in a social media post, Gov. Abbott recently rattled off a host of stats illustrating just how successful the state has been.

Texas counted only 624 new confirmed infections on Wednesday according to state data, with a seven-day average of 2,072 new cases per day.
