    Yet you never mentioned that the cases started to rise after they stopping incoming travel restrictions earlier this year and welcomed tourists -- and opened up bars, casinos, sporting events, etc.

    As of May 3rd, the Seychelles imposed restrictions again to stop the spread of COVID.

    Once again you push nonsense from a source on Twitter (which has regularly been marked as FALSE INFORMATION on social media) which attempts to cast masks in a bad light while ignoring all the other context of the situation which drove the rising cases.

    Coupled with this is the Chinese vaccine used for the majority of their vaccinations in the Seychelles has been found to be next to useless. This is a classic case of a small country that vaccinated most of its people, thought it was safe to open up, and then found out people got sick because the vaccine was junk.

    They funny thing is... is that you push the bullshit of widespread lockdowns of the healthy which were was never done in response to pandemics in the past. a few local a few business yes... but never the garbage you were touting.

    And we have been saying close the borders, keep people out... as this is what was done in the past.


    You have pushed bullshit... and now you are agreeing with what I have been saying all along.

    when were the restrictions removed on incoming travel and tourism?

    There is absolutely nothing on that chart that is FALSE INFORMATION.

    Not. One. thing. If you disagree, please point out what posted is a not true. (this will be met with silence again)

    The chart is laughable. Any chart that attempts to focus on masks without taking a look at other restrictions and information is a joke -- -and definitely has no foundation in science.

    Wow ... what a douchebag liar you are..

    Now that everything is showing how wrong you were about virutally all your assumptions, presumptions and lies... you are going back to proper skepticism and a demand for useful data.

    So you can't point out what is actually false, then. Once again, total failure on your part to point to anything specific, while at the same time claiming it is a lie. That's the GWB Lie ™ for ya. You need to patent that thing.

    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 (clearly intended to encourage more holdouts to accept the vaccine) 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.

    Confronted in an interview last month, Dr. Fauci finally acknowledged that he couldn't explain Texas' success. And President Biden memorably slammed Republicans in Texas (and in other southern states like Mississippi that followed Texas' lead) as "Neanderthal-thinking" Republicans.



    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.



    Adding to this, the state reported a record low seven-day positivity rate of 3.9% last week, and cases and hospitalizations have fallen to their lowest marks since last summer.

    Funeral homes in the area rejoiced at finally seeing business return to a more normal pace.

    Bradshaw-Carter Funeral Home owner Tripp Carter said they haven’t had a COVID-related service since early March, which she credited in part to Houstonians abiding by precautionary measures.

    "We are right in the heart of the city, and so it’s just great that we haven’t seen any more cases," Carter said. "Houstonians, or at least certainly in the inner loop, were very conscious about following CDC guidelines."

    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.

    To put this all in context, Texas was reporting nearly 30,000 new cases per day and upward of 400 deaths a day earlier this year. It once was home to the worst outbreak in the country, and last summer became the first state to top 1 million confirmed cases.

    Deaths finally began to slow in March, as vaccine eligibility was gradually expanded. To date, 41% of Texans have received at least one vaccine dose, and nearly one in three are fully vaccinated against coronavirus, which lags the rate in many other states.

    Now, the state can focus its attention on the new crisis of 2021: the fester crisis at the southern border caused by a surge in migrants responding to Biden's pledge to welcome immigrants.

    At least now, with the COVID numbers down, maybe Biden will deem it safe enough to hold more photo-ops at the border where he lectures the GOP on immigration policy.

    As noted by all the media in Texas the zero number on Sunday merely reflects reporting delays over the weekend. On Monday Texas endured the highest death toll in two months.

    Texas has 23 deaths on Monday - Highest in Two Months.

    What was statistically Texas’ best day of the pandemic was followed by a sobering number one day later.

    On Sunday, the state’s Department of State Health Services reported its first day without recording a COVID-19 death since March 21, 2020.

    The good news was dampened less than 20 hours later, when DSHS reported 23 new COVID deaths Monday — the highest Monday count in nearly two months.

    So the 23 deaths were for what period - since there was a reporting delay? It wasn't one day's worth, and therefore wasn't the highest in 2 months, right?

    Also, from your article:

    Still, it’s clear the state has turned a corner: Last week, the state had a record low seven-day positivity rate of 3.9 percent, and cases and hospitalizations were at their lowest marks since last summer.
