Texas governor lifts mask mandate and allows businesses to open at 100% capacity, despite health officials' warnings
https://www.cnn.com/2021/03/02/us/texas-governor-mask-mandate/index.html

Gov. Greg Abbott announced Tuesday he's lifting the mask mandate in Texas, even as health officials warn not to ease safety restrictions.

Abbott made the announcement during a Lubbock Chamber of Commerce event where he issued an executive order rescinding most of his earlier executive orders like the mask mandate.

Also announced Tuesday, Abbott said businesses of any type will be allowed to open 100% beginning March 10.

"Too many Texans have been sidelined from employment opportunities. Too many small business owners have struggled to pay their bills. This must end. It is now time to open Texas 100%," he said.

Abbott's announcement comes as Covid-19 cases and hospitalizations continue to drop across the country. However, health experts say relaxing restrictions now could lead to another surge, especially with the variants spreading.

In the last year, Texans have "mastered the daily habits to avoid getting Covid," Abbott said. As of Monday, 6.57% of Texans have been fully vaccinated, according to Johns Hopkins University.

Abbott himself said Tuesday 5.7 million vaccine shots have been administered in the state, there is a surplus of personal protective equipment (PPE) and "10 million Texans have recovered from Covid."

"Removing state mandates does not end personal responsibility and caring for your family members, friends and others in your community," Abbott said. "People and businesses don't need the state telling them how to operate."

Abbott said he knows some officials will worry that opening the state 100% will lead to worsening of Covid in their communities. He says his executive order addresses that concern.

"If Covid hospitalizations in any of the 22 hospital regions in Texas rise above 15% of the hospital bed capacity in that region for seven straight days, then a county judge in that region may use Covid mitigation strategies in their county," Abbott said.

On a county level, though, a judge cannot put anyone in jail for not following Covid orders and no penalties can be imposed for people who do not wear masks, Abbott said.

"If restrictions are imposed at the county level, all entities must be allowed to operate at at least 50% capacity," he said.

Texas joins 12 other states that do not have mask requirements.

‘I HATE IT HERE’: Texans are pissed after Greg Abbott lifts mask mandate, reopens 100%
'We are the laughing stock.'

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott announced on Tuesday that the state would reopen and abandon its face mask mandate, despite the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, leading many to express their disgust with The Lone Star State.

After Abbott issued a new executive order—which is set to go into effect next Wednesday—to cancel health mandates put in place in 2020, some Texans began declaring their hate for the state on Twitter.

In fact, the term "I HATE IT HERE" became a top trend on the social media platform just moments after the news was announced.

Although Abbott noted that private businesses still reserve the right to require masks if they choose, many fear that the coronavirus will see a resurgence as a result of his actions.

One user noted that Houston just became the first city to have detected every major Covid strain.

"Bruh it's been less than 24 hours," @idksameman said. "I hate it here."

They should move to California or New York.

If so many hate it there, why are so many coming to the state? We could look at the net migration and move data to be sure.

LOL! Just for giggles I clicked on "Rabia" to see who this "Twitter Source" you are so keen on (following the GWB protocol, of course).

I'm not sure, but then, I'm a liberal so I don't think correctly about this stuff.

Although he lifted the mask mandate, it does not mean you cannot wear a mask if you still want to for protection. However I deal with several Texans and since last year they though the mask requirement was bullshit so I doubt except in private places you will hardly see any masks.

Whatever your belief is, to say we dont need masks and can pack in places 100% and then say however be safe and followed recommendations is the TYPICAL FUCKTARDEDNESS from politicians..
