Rep. Kevin Brady told CNBC on Monday that wearing masks and social distancing are the best ways to combat rising infections, not closing the economy again.
"The deadliest per capita rates are in the 'lockdown states,' New Jersey, New York, Massachusetts, Illinois, and Pennsylvania," the longtime Texas Republican said in ainterview. "We are fortunate that the 'reopening states' have some of the lowest Covid fatalities per person. Of the top 10 states, the safest rates are in Texas, California, Florida, Georgia, Arizona.
Among the states seeing current record case surges are Texas and Florida, which have lower death rates of 9.1 per 100,000 and 17.4, respectively. However, possible fatalities in those states, which have not seen these kinds of spikes yet during the pandemic, could go higher. One of the factors working in their favor is that many of the new cases in states such as Texas and Florida are younger people who are more apt to recover.
Texas and Florida were among the first states to relax statewide stay-at-home orders. They allowed some businesses to resume operations in early May. However, as cases started to spike last month, the Republican governors of Texas and Florida also became some of the first to slow or reverse reopening plans.
