Texas Governor Greg Abbott issued the most sweeping rollback of coronavirus restrictions of any U.S. state on Tuesday, lifting a mask mandate and saying most businesses may open at full capacity next week.

According to Abbott’s office, by the end of March every senior who wants a vaccine would be able to get one.

As of Tuesday, 35 U.S. states, along with the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, still mandate that residents wear face masks in public. Mississippi also lifted its face-covering order on Tuesday. Biden said on Tuesday that through an agreement for Merck & Co Inc to help make rival Johnson & Johnson’s COVID-19 vaccine, his administration had secured enough for every adult in the United States to be inoculated by the end of May.

According to a Reuters tally, roughly 68,240 new cases have been reported on average each day this week, or 27% of the peak daily average reached on Jan. 7. The United States has recorded 28,681,793 infections and 513,721 coronavirus-related deaths since the pandemic began.

The UN session called by Ireland ended without an agreement on a joint statement with Russia leading opposition along with China and India, arguing that they did not want to intervene in Ethiopia's internal affairs, diplomats said.

Too soon. Silly man

Insane. Just insane.

Well, that's one state I will not be visiting.

Folks before y’all get your panties in a wad! The governor is opening up Texas for business100%.no more having to wear a mask! Now if you feel you need to wear it! By all means wear it! Don’t worry about others that choose not to wear one! only worry about what you can control.

In the Philippines, Masks, faceshilds, social distancing and lock downs have been mandatory for over a year and still has a higher case rates than neighboring countries. Explain that.

I feel so sorry for people trapped in Texas. Republicans are actively trying to kill everyone there. I hate this country.

That'll distract Texans from being pissed about Abbott's colossal failure at energy and storm preparedness.

We learn nothing 😢

Well then .. Greg Abbot can tell all those home insurance companies to halt their payouts for winter damage.. Its his virtue to be the financial industry's loyal scab in the open. First count up the pandemic survivors in their domestic ruins . splcenter MSNBC

Please, Texans, stay home. We don't need your covid numbers to climb again then you load up and head to neighboring states. New Mexico's numbers are cautiously optimistic and our vaccine distribution is 1 in the US. Please, don't visit.

Just an invitation for natural selection to do it’s thing

Not good GovAbbott 😷😷😷

SARS-CoV-2 lifts is Texas restriction

They can do what ever they want. Although this does seem like an poor idea. That will eventually get more people killed.
