 March 2, 2021

Exactly eight months after issuing a mask mandate in most Texas counties, Gov. Greg Abbott reversed that order on Tuesday, along with most other statewide COVID-19 orders he signed last year.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott made the statewide announcement Tuesday while speaking to the Lubbock Chamber of Commerce.

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

Also effective next Wednesday, all businesses regardless of classifications are allowed to open to 100% capacity, Abbott said....

Texas Declares That America is Back! *NO* Mask Mandate, Businesses Can Open 100% Capacity

by Kyle Becker

updated 6 minutes ago

Texas has declared that “America is back.”

After a year of the Democrats’ destructive and futile lockdowns, mask mandates that did nothing significant to slow the spread, and a full year since the 15 days to slow the spread lie, the Lone Star State is taking a bold stand on behalf of freedom.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott made the stunning announcement today:

...If COVID-19 hospitalizations in any of the 22 hospital regions in Texas get above 15% of the hospital bed capacity in that region for seven straight days, a County Judge in that region may use COVID-19 mitigation strategies. However, County Judges may not impose jail time for not following COVID-19 orders nor may any penalties be imposed for failing to wear a face mask. If restrictions are imposed at a County level, those restrictions may not include reducing capacity to less than 50% for any type of entity.

Woo Hoo!!! Texas Independence Day again.

Of course, Dem Mayors and County Judges oppose as does the Texas Dem Party. That in itself shows it is all political.

Time for all states to thumb their noses and open up.  Trump ensured that the states had proper medical equipment, expansion of hospital space and that the rollout of the vaccines would be expedited.  Time to open up folks! Time to realize that Facui and crew are full of it.

Both Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo and Houston Mayor Sylvester expressed how disappointed they are with Gov. Greg Abbott’s decision.

Great timing by the Governor as well making the announcement on Texas Independence Day.

I just with the Governor of the Commonwealth of Kentucky had the spine enough to make the same proclamation.

Most all of the Dem mayors and county judges, along with the Texas dem Party, chimed in that Abbott's move "is a mistake".  That shows the mass masking and lockdowns are all political.

I believe he did it as spring break is coming, and the rules would be broken anyway.
