And even if that were true, I don't think that would strongly suggest lockdowns work. People might get too excited and, for example, go to cinema more often than if there hasn't been a lockdown in the first place.
Really? I hear on the radio about about the increasing cases in the surrounding counties since spring break and everything opening back up right before that. I live in North Texas.
I don't know now. My echo-chamber is full of stories such as this one: https://fee.org/articles/texas-hits-reco...trictions/
The raw data, by the government, is available here: https://tabexternal.dshs.texas.gov/t/THD...y&:embed=y
Either way, cases have been falling in Texas since March the 2nd, when the lockdown and mask mandate was lifted. Perhaps not as dramatically as that article by Foundation for Economic Education would lead you to believe, but they are definitely not increasing.
