Once again, Florida has been for the most part open for quite some time and as I understand it South Dakota was never closed.
These people need to get a grip. American freedom is stronger than they thought.
They like the Border open to CV-2...
Not holding my breath though. I am expecting her to "split the Baby" and either leave masks but open up fully, or vice versa - no masks but limitations.
Here is the fun part: Everywhere I go now when I see people wearing masks (I never do) I say to people, well, Texas is done with this nonsense and everyone else is soon to follow. And then I give a big Alfred E. Newman smile.
As far as I’m concerned, Texas and Miss. are the first big crack in the dam. It’s over. All the red states just needed someone with courage to start it. The Blue states will be shamed into doing it too. They’ll just have to find some “statistic” to give them an excuse.
We had a guy at work return recently after being out with COVID. He’s a big lib and before the election blamed COVID on Trump because “he didn’t take it seriously and didn’t do anything!”. What I wonder is what the masks and social distancing did to prevent him from getting COVID. If that BS worked, why did he get sick?
Well either COVID is going to take off or else it’s going to continue to decline. Time will tell.
Democrats always get upset when we free their slaves....................
Exactly right. The mere mention of freedom triggers Democrat fears of losing control over people.
I don’t know.....
I think its a good sign that Biden can use at least one 4 syllable word.
Problem is corporate and even many local businesses are afraid and still insist
My county in Tennessee lifted it....but most business still have it
I don’t think hospitals especially emergency rooms will ever lift it
When the virus first hit last March, it made perfect sense to do this as we did not understand the virus or how it spread; we didn't know how to prevent it or even treat it effectively; we didn't have a vaccine, etc., etc. But that was a year ago and this is what medical experts said we must do ... it made perfect sense to follow their advice. It made perfect sense to be scared what with the predictions -- later determined to be bogus -- of the deaths of millions of Americans.
But it's a year later. We understand the virus. We have preventive measures in place (although they are often and unneccessarily taken to the extreme). We know how to treat it if someone gets sick. We have a vaccine for anyone who wants it (and even for some who don't want it!).
So the linear thinking must stop -- and stop quickly as it has in Florida and Texas and Mississippi -- lest we lose even more of what took over two centuries to build in America. We can no longer afford to place virus concerns above everything else. That's what experts do and their opinions and recommendations should be considered seriously. Taken seriously, but not to the exclusion of everything else which is why our biggest mistake from the beginning, which continues to today, was to place experts in charge of public policy.
We see clearly the results of this grievous error in judgment. Linear thinking has caused the near collapse of our economy. Linear thinking has caused serious and far-reaching damage to our society and to our quality of life. Linear thinking has taken a full year of childhood -- of education and of learning to function within a civil society -- from our children. And linear thinking has crushed -- literally destroyed -- the hopes and dreams of tens of millions of people ... of American citizens who deserve far better from their politicians and others who we have placed in positions of power and authority.
Linear thinking -- a practice which excludes all other considerations except the virus -- must stop. It is dangerous, it is destructive and it causes serious -- even deadly -- harm to the men, women and children of America.

So, are they all flocking back to lockdown states?
No?
They can continue to wear three masks, shelter in place and pretend they are safe from a relatively innocuous virus, but they just really want to bully others.
Eff them all.
Sanitation protocols have also been made optional here in Texas, so I’d recommend washing your hands. It’s not up to the businesses to keep their surfaces clean—it is up to each individual to make sure they keep themselves clean.
And, of course, Biden called opening states up completely “Neanderthal thinking.”
Well, in that case, Me Oog! Me hate fire!
PING!
Pray DeWine opens Ohio. News conference tonight. (I know, I know. A person can dream, can’t he.).
Texas not good for traveling demoRATS. Ya might catch a ‘Rona’!
Texas ‘Rona’ only seeking out wussies now. Be afraid, Be very afraid!
Don’t mess with Texas! The only state that fights back and the left can’t take down! : ))))))) Long Live the ‘STAR’ on the USA!
