Texas is lifting its mask mandate, Gov. Greg Abbott said Tuesday, making it the largest state to end an order intended to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.

I'm all for it.. yes I wear one or at least halfway right ..

But I hate them....

I still get to wear my Crash Bandicoot mask?

Wear it all you want..

And as far as the song

Mississippi is also relaxing a lot of their COVID mandates. More to follow I hope.

Good luck.

Yes seen that on the News today!


Not sure that's a good thing.

??? I know. Time will tell I guess. I like the idea of no state mandate. Different parts of each state have lower exposure rates. Business owners still have the right to require face coverings upon entry if they desire. And I’m pretty sure most people will still be cautious and adhere to the 6 ft. rule.

I heard that to today ... get ready for spring break ...
I don't understand why... throwing caution to the wind...is it a deep dark ...
hoax again ...or the big lie ... I know... its a witch hunt ... right ...

What many don't know is many of the Counties in Texas were not making the Mask Mandated in the first place..

I have nieces that live about 30 miles from where I do, two different ways and the towns they live in have never enforced Mask.. Therefore they only have to wear one when they come into the Fort Worth area..

And even then many places did not say anything if you walked in without one on..

It is time to let all businesses open up regardless if they require a mask or not.. This shut down is killing the economy~~ And has already closed down many small businesses~~

This shut down is killing the economy

Yup. And the virus is killing a lot of people.

So wearing a mask won't kill ya, but not wearing one might kill you or your neighbor.

Good luck Texas.

BTW have you got your electricity turned back on yet?

Why March 10th. Why not today.

Exactly, many small businesses and esp catering industry has suffered tremendously!! Many haven't made it after months of lockdown and restrictions.
It's killing the economy.

So I'm cheering for Texas!! Damned good decision!

That was just the guidelines from the Governer.. Actually Fort Worth decided to start as of yesterday.. That was stated a few hours after they said the mask was no longer to be mandatory.

Some businesses are still going to required to wear a mask it seems but it is not mandatory.

Yes it has, but what are the true numbers of deaths that were caused by the virus? Funny how the Flu just disappeared during this time?

Not saying it is not real, just about my whole family has had it.. Yes, it has some wild symptoms.. Even my sister that is a liver transplant had it and got through it.

If wearing a mask totally prevented it then why shut down businesses in the first place? It seems it is okay to go into a Walmart but not other places..

I feel for those that have lost family members... But you can not shut down a country and expect the people to be able to live.. While the Government sends our money to third world countries.. And offers us $1,400 stimulus checks, I would rather have my job back..

Thanks for asking, I never did lose power.. Know many that did but all got it back on a few had damages due to it.

Your right Bart, I still see that many places will require a mask when you enter their stores.. And many will comply with those wishes.. But it is time to let businesses open back up all the way.. I know too many without a job all due to Covid and businesses shutting down or getting rid of half their employees due to the restrictions they have on Restaurants & Bars.. They no longer needed the wait staff they had due to either not being able to open up or limited to how much they could open.

I'm with you girl on this one we are not the only state that has decided to open back up.

There are at least 11 other states that do not have a Mask Mandate. And most of their businesses are open.. But yet Covid is not out of control within those areas.

Yay Texas! I'm applauding all states that are opening back up and following Texas lead!

IMHO A danger to one is a danger to all. God bless America.

In Macomb County Michigan the coroner had to do an autopsy on a suicide victim in his 20's. As part of the autopsy the victim was checked for covid-19 and since he tested positive he was listed as a covid-19 death.
Yeah Covid-19 has killed people......but in many places there is NO distinction made between dying WITH covid-19 and dying FROM covid-19.

Wearing a mask in a surgical setting isn't done to protect the medical personal, it's to protect the patient. Masks are, if they are the right ones and worn correctly, are most useful in preventing infected people from spreading the virus. The notion that a mask will prevent a person from getting the virus isn't necessarily true since the virus can be spread via ocular secretions and tears or contracting an infection via the eye.....but the chances of contracting the virus through the eye is low.

Now some "medical experts" are saying people should wear two masks.....are they saying that for a year we were being mislead by saying wearing a single mask was effective in protecting people from contracting the virus?

Obama's chief of staff Rohm Emanuel said NEVER let a crisis go to waste....and the covid-19 crisis is being used by many politicians to grab power, act as totalitarians by disregarding rights GUARANTEED by the constitution.

I'm not saying people should be careless, personally I'm very cautious. But IMO people need to have access to ALL information and make the decision to what risks they are willing to take because life DOESN'T come without risks. My risk tolerance decisions SHOULDN'T be forced on others....that is how a REAL liberal who believe in DEMOCRACY thinks!!!!!!!!! The root word of liberal is from the Latin word "liber" which means "free". The liberal moniker has been hijacked by leftist who believe in more government control which takes away freedom.
