BREAKING: Texas ends all coronavirus mandates and restrictions!!!!!

We're a month away from everything being open anyway, so this is no surprise. It will take nearly that long for numbers to climb out of Texas, if they do, and that will be diluted by every otehr state opening up.

This is a predicted move by an anti-science, Red state.

Governor Perry, ... I mean, Governor Abbot should also have said that he had condemned thousands more Texans to death. It shows just how craven he is to go Trump's way instead of actually showing consideration for the people of the state. Over 200 Texans are dying every day and he thinks it's time to end all reasonable measures when they just have to hold down the virus for two to three more months to beat the pandemic. Or, rather, since his actions were so miserably poorly thought out all along, he could have actually finished on a high note. Two months of mass vaccination and you save up to 12,000 people by championing wise measures.

Why again do they have 254 counties, ranging from pop. 4 million (Harris County) to 100 (Loving County)? No surprise that Loving County is the least populous.

If Republicans hadn't pretended that the virus was fake from the very beginning, we could have been open a long time ago. Instead, more than half a million Americans have died and millions more will have lasting health issues. And you're telling the people who care that they just hate little kids and small business owners? Eat sh*t.

Remember when the Dems urged people to attend Chinese New Year Parades and the "facts not fear" propaganda from Jan/Feb 2020? Cause I didn't.

Wait, people are still tossing this doozy out there? I thought everyone realized what an absurd argument this was a long time ago. Remember all those European countries that 'did it the right way' and 'beat Covid' only to have a bigger fall/winter wave than the US?

Leftists in a nutshell. They live to freak out and scream for Big Government Nanny to hold their wittle hands.

My kids have been home for a year. No summer camps. No in person school. No restaurants, amusement parks and so on. We are fortunate that our kids enjoy being outdoors and have been able to keep busy on weekends going hiking, fishing, etc. It has not been good, but it has been manageable.

The kids I care about are the ones who lost parents and grandparents due to COVID 19. Over 44,000 Texans have died from COVID 19 and most of them either had kids or grandkids. One of my clients had their controller die of COVID 19 after spending 50 days in the hospital. She left behind four kids.

And to be clear, we are not talking about lockdowns in Texas. We are talking about making people wear a freaking mask. Restaurants and bars are open and most have put tables outside in the parking lot to make up for and often expand seating capacity.

Yep. Just one of the many grade-school-level truths they're incapable of understanding.

The really beautiful part of this current stupidity, though, is that, the rest of the way, it's literally gonna be Republicans killing *themselves*. That's been true to a pretty good degree already, but it's *really* gonna be true now.

Democrats (being, ya know *sane*) are rapidly getting vaxed, and are still making at least some effort to take rational precautions in the meantime. Relatively few of them are going to die (or be permanently damaged) by COVID from here out.

R's on the other hand --refusing the vax in their juvenile insanity, and doing everything they can to expose themselves at every chance-- are going to keep right on slaughtering themselves and each other for another year.

The criminal low-life Abbott, with his actions today, is *literally* signing the death-warrants for tens of thousands of his own supporters. Ya gotta love it.

Go for it, you psychopaths! Knock yourselves out. Hell, start holding massive Fashy-Moron rallies again. You can all stand around spitting your Medieval stupidity in each others' faces, and hasten your generous self-culling.

The rest of us *thank* you. With every one of you that you self-infect, you are steadily raising the average IQ and the moral temperature of the country just a little bit.

Please, keep it up.

Time to celebrate with a Whataburger! Yeehaw!

The TX Governors Mansion is still closed.

I wonder why Abbott is afraid to open his own home up, since he thinks it’s so safe.

Call (512) 463-5518 and demand Abbott opens his home also.

You're one of those people. Just like the governor of California who refuses to follow the dining restrictions he sets twice! If we could get these jerks like Newsome out of here we would have stopped Covid cold. But seriously how much does it hurt the left that Florida is 28th in deaths per capita despite being more open than any state besides the Dakotas with the second oldest population in the country.

The millions having lasting damage thing is quite absurd. There is no study that has been performed that shows anything like that. Now that we are 1 year in the fact that the number of Covid deaths is less than a fifth of the annual deaths really demonstrates what an overreaction this was. Especially when you consider the number of deaths that were in long-term care, hospice, or among people with terminal illnesses.

Damn, I really didn't want to move to Texas but this is starting to sway my decision. F NY.

Eh Primo, you know you responded to someone who appears to agree with you?

BTW MOST European countries fared better than the US.

A real leader? I hope your joking. This is the same guy who opened up Texas too early last year. He folded to social and media pressure and closed the state back up a few months later. "do his own thing ""Not afraid to go his own way to do the right thing when there's pressure from society" give me a break--he's the farthest thing from a real leader.

The farthest thing from a real leader....sounds like Biden and Cuomo, eh? I guess you are a sissy lib who needs to be told what to do, eh?

Correct, you mean if Pelosi hadn't told people to go out instead of stay home, there wouldn't be as many deaths, right? You, another liberal sissy, always leaves out the facts, eh?

How so?

According to the establishments' own numbers. Texas has fared better against Covid than most of the states that were most restricted.

Texas the Great State of Science Deniers

GOP the Great party of Science Deniers

It's not that hard to wear a damn mask and listen to science.
