Typical Texas. "F--- it, this is too hard."

When the going gets tough, Texans say "F---- it!" We are Texas and we do what we want. That is why they are stuck pumping ancient energy sources. Texas borders should be closed to the rest of the country because they are going to be spreading SARS-CoV-2 and it's variants with abandon. When is the next Ho-Down?

Texas demoralizes the rest of the country.

With less than 7% of Texans (click here) fully vaccinated and another Covid-19 surge potentially imminent, Texas is flinging open businesses to full capacity while simultaneously ending its highly politicized mask mandate, the state’s governor, Greg Abbott, announced on Tuesday.

“It is now time to open Texas 100%,” a maskless Abbott declared to cheers at a crowded restaurant in the city of Lubbock.

When Abbott’s policy changes go into effect next week, Texas will be the most populous state in the country that does not require residents to wear masks. Restaurants and other businesses can choose to maintain their own mask policies, but without government backing to do so.

“We had a chance maybe by the end of the summer of getting a handle on this pandemic. This governor is just going to throw all of that out and put us back to the stone ages,” said Gilberto Hinojosa, the chair of the Texas Democratic party. “This is crazy.”

Other states and cities have likewise started rolling back precautions. In Mississippi – another Republican stronghold – Governor Tate Reeves also announced on Tuesday that the state was lifting rules for businesses and doing away with county mask mandates....

Mississippi's Republican Governor Tate Reeves wants to end the mask mandate. They are trying to scapegoat masks now because there is no effective leadership and there hasn't been.

This map of Mississippi is of the state's counties. The darker the blue color, the more cases, and deaths.

If this virus doesn't come under control it is due to the spineless Republican Governors.

Below is the Mississippi County, Coahoma. It has no mask mandate.

Below is Alcorn County. It does have a mask mandate.

The difference in cases and deaths is staggering between the two Mississippi counties. Mask Mandates work and when they are abandoned because "it isn't fun and makes for bad Republican politics," people get sick and die. There is also the issue of the prolonged viral disabilities that Mississippi will expect the other wealthier states to support.

The governors (click here) of Texas and Mississippi both announced on Tuesday they would be lifting their states' mask mandates and rolling back many of their Covid-19 health mandates, just one day after the CDC warned against complacency in the face of emerging coronavirus variants.

"It is now time to open Texas 100 percent," Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said Tuesday afternoon at Montelongo's Mexican Restaurant in Lubbock....

These governors are committing human rights abuses. They should be held accountable.
