And yet it works! Two states defy Biden's orders - and open up completely!
March 3, 2021
Both Texas and Mississippi are ending government-imposed Corona measures completely, 100 percent.
People in both states will be allowed to go back to being self-sufficient.
Texas made the start. Here, Gov. Greg Abbott announced Tuesday that all restrictive measures on COVID-19 would end March 10. Life goes on, as it did before Corona, without any restrictions.
"I just announced that Texas is 100% OPEN," he tweeted Tuesday afternoon. "ALL."
"With this Executive Order, we are ensuring that all Texas businesses and families have the freedom to determine their own destiny."
The official statement said:
"With medical advances in vaccines and antibody therapeutics, Texas now has the tools to protect Texans from the virus. We must do more now to restore livelihoods and normalcy for Texans by opening Texas to 100 percent. Make no mistake, COVID-19 is not gone, but it is clear from the recoveries, vaccinations, reduced hospitalizations and safe practices Texans are using that state mandates are no longer necessary. Today's announcement is not an abandonment of safe practices that Texans have mastered over the past year. Instead, it is a reminder that everyone has a role to play in their own personal safety and the safety of others. With this executive order, we are ensuring that all Texas businesses and families have the freedom to determine their own destiny."
Texas can continue to conduct more than 100,000 tests per day, he said. He said the state has invested in a variety of antibody therapeutic drugs that have saved thousands of Texans from hospitalization.
More than 2.5 million Texans who have been laboratory-detected for COVID-19 have recovered, he said.
The mask mandate has also been lifted, he said, but everyone can decide for themselves how to proceed with this new freedom. That would include companies, he said.
"If COVID-19 hospitalizations in any of the 22 hospital regions in Texas rise above 15% of the hospital bed capacity in that region for seven consecutive days, a district judge in that region may apply COVID-19 mitigation strategies. However, district judges may not impose jail sentences for failure to comply with COVID-19 orders, nor may penalties be imposed for failure to wear a face mask. If restrictions are imposed at the county level, those restrictions may not include reducing capacity to less than 50% for any type of facility. "
Mississippi immediately followed Texas' lead and also announced the repeal of all measures. Other states could follow suit.
