USAFDildo announces "Texas COVID Cases Drop to Record Low Nearly Three Weeks After Mask Mandate Lifted" (Newsweek).
It should be immediately obvious the headline is BS. Cases can only increase (or stay the same). Active cases can return to zero, but that can't be a record low. The article, in fact, talks about a record low "positivity rate". Now that's a good thing, but it's also only the percentage of tests returning positive. So it just as much an indicator of a history of inadequate testing as anything else.
