Republican states Texas and Florida have reported fewer COVID cases despite reopening their states.

Meanwhile, Democrat-led states such as Michigan, Pennsylvania, and New York have seen more cases of COVID-19 after refusing to roll back COVID restrictions, and imposing statewide mask mandates, according to a Fox News report.

On Mar. 10, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott was criticized by the left after he decided to fully reopen the state and reversed the state's mandate.

The same criticism was sent out to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis after he reopened Florida. Critics accused him of endangering Florida residents when he allowed businesses to fully reopen in September.

COVID Cases

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data showed that Michigan has faced worst COVID positive cases in recent weeks, with 449.2 cases of the virus per 100,000 in the last seven days.

Meanwhile, Pennsylvania has reported 239.6 cases per 100,000 in the last seven days with a total of 30,678, according to a Breitbart News.

New York City alone has recorded 208.1 new cases per 100,000 in the last seven days. New York's total cases were reported to be at 17,475.

New Yorkers are getting frustrated with Gov. Andrew Cuomo's mask mandate.

All three Democrat states have mask mandates in place, yet reporting a higher number of new cases per capita as compared to both Texas and Florida.

In Texas, reported cases were 70.3 per 100,000 in the last seven days with a total of 20,374. Meanwhile, Florida has reported 195.5 cases per 100,000, with a total of 41,993 in the same period.

Pennsylvania reported 221.4 cases per 100,000 in the last seven days.

U.S. President Joe Biden's administration has urged local and state officials to impose mask mandates across the country.

Biden earlier slammed Texas for lifting their restrictions in March, saying that it was a "Neanderthal thinking."

States Reopening

In March, Texas fully reopened their states, allowing business to operate.

Abbott said at the time that it is time to open Texas 100 percent, adding that COVID has not suddenly disappeared but that state mandates are no longer needed, according to The New York Times report.

Meanwhile, in Chicago, children returned to school this week. San Francisco announced that indoor dining, museum, movie theaters, and gyms could reopen on a limited basis.

Florida have opened schools and businesses. Florida has the most reported cases of the British variant.

The said variant was reported to have been more contagious and has the potential to be more deadly, according to a News4Jax report.

However, federal health officials are worried that leaders might be deciding on the matter swiftly.

"I know people are tired; they want to get back to life, to normal," Dr. Rochelle Walensky, director of the CDC, was quoted in a report.

She added that they are not there yet.

Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, President Biden's chief medical adviser for Covid-19, said this small groups of people who have been fully vaccinated have low risk in gathering at home.

However, Fauci added that activities beyond that would depend on data, modeling, and good clinical common sense.
