Texas and Mississippi to lift mask mandates and roll back Covid restrictions

How exactly do you quantify that? Many Hispanics have service jobs and they are around people all day during this pandemic. This bankrupt country is about to waste $1.9 Trillion on stimulus checks that it doesn't have. Do you really think it is prudent fiscally to print even more money on shit they can't even quantify to investigate? Originally Posted by Lucas McCain
I do not agree with the stimulus checks. But just because latinos are in the service industry means nothing when biden is fixin to let many cross the border. Bad idea at any time.

It would be a worthy investigation on how many they were responsible for! The latino population was always being reported as disproportionately affected by covid! Originally Posted by winn dixie

Your argument would have more validity if you blamed all of those idiots at Trump's rallies standing shoulder to shoulder with one another while not even wearing a mask and not Hispanic immigrants because you don't like them even though they actually wear masks. Originally Posted by Lucas McCain
The latino community is being disproportionately effected for the same reason black communities are: they're disregarding the orders and still having parties and get togethers.

White people aren't having such a problem because white people hardly talk to their neighbors anymore, liberal or conservative. It's fucking weird.

Exactly! If condemning lifting restrictions in Texas is bad. Then how is it a good idea to be letting in people most likely to be carriers? If they are folks more likely to be disproporntionately affected by covid? Why bring them in to the exposure?

You can add college kids to that as well and that has nothing to do with race. Some people choose to socialize regardless of the risks involved while doing so. My point is that you can't just blame immigrants or many other low income brackets (not that I am remotely saying that you are doing that like WD) for spreading this shit because you don't like them. Many are willing to take the risk and be out and about and not sit on their asses all day while having no in person social interaction for an extended time.

fiden - whom LM does love as he loves marx, stalin , and lenin - is introducing thousands of illegals infected with Wuhan virus into america - to punish Red States.

LM cares not - doesn't fit the DPST/ccp Ideology Uber alles.

And - the illegals with their diseases, gangs, drugs, and trafficking will kill hundreds of thousands of taxpayers - legal American citizens - just as fiden/harris and the DPST marxists desire.



Ideology Uber Alles !


Meanwhile - blame Trump - blame Trump - blame Trump

and Hate Trump!!


next comes the 'parrot accusations from lm and the DPST /ccp choir!
LOL

Get carried away just for the sake of being overly dramatic much, oeb? I never even mentioned Trump in this thread. Unlike you, some people are not 100% subjective with their views and they actually try to be somewhat objective.

If you are referring to the other LM, I am sure he will respond if he believes it is even worth doing so.

I don't like those either? I'm OK with repealing those.

The I think the parking thing is a bit more nuanced though. I wouldn't drop all of it, would have to look at the whole thing. Originally Posted by GastonGlock

But like everything having to do with criminal justice, we often make the penalties too severe. Like the time I was going 140 mph between Sonora and Del Rio and got stopped by the Sheriff in Val Verde County. The MF's put me in the slammer for the weekend. Admittedly though it probably didn't help when Deputy Hernandez asked me where I was going in a hurry, and I said "Boystown in Ciudad Acuna, I want to get there before your mother's been fucked by every Tom, Dick and Harry in Coahuila and South Texas." It was Friday and that's a big night for whoring in Cuna.

Anyway, the mask mandate wasn't punitive. Nobody went to jail because of it. I doubt there were many people who ended up paying the fine, let alone a large enough fine to cause a financial hardship. Its primary effect was to make people more responsible, more likely to mask up, because the governor and the legal system were encouraging them to do so. And it's my belief the mask mandate saved thousands of lives in Texas, many more than the speeding or drunk driving laws will have saved in 2020 and 2021.

If you go waltzing into a bar with a scuba tank, diving mask, hazmat suit and tin foil hat, you're going to attract a particular kind of lady. Like a bat shit crazy lady. Now this has its pluses and minuses. The big plus is that she'll probably be very good in the sack. The big minus is that if you don't use a condom, or if you haven't had a vasectomy, or if she figures out where you live or what your real name is, you're fucked. So be careful. Just trying to warn you about something I learned the hard way.

And for goodness sake, don't let her wipe the cum off her face with your diving mask. Be a gentleman. That's what handkerchiefs are for.

Not to mention human trafficking, violent gangs, crime drugs, and other infectious diseases.



Thank U - SR and your DPST Terrorists inflicting on America what you would be screaming and howling about under Trump.

Where children are caged in Obama era cages - but that is just fine because We DPST's do it.



HYPOCRITES sand Liars - the lot of You !

The governors 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.
© Provided by NBC News "It is now time to open Texas 100 percent," Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said Tuesday afternoon at Montelongo's Mexican Restaurant in Lubbock.

"Covid has not suddenly disappeared," he said, "but state mandates are no longer needed."
Shortly after Abbott's announcement, Gov. Tate Reeves announced that he would end Mississippi's statewide mask mandate, effective Wednesday of this week.
"Our hospitalizations and case numbers have plummeted, and the vaccine is being rapidly distributed," Reeves tweeted. "It is time!"
On Monday, CDC Director Rochelle Walensky strongly cautioned against the very rollbacks that Abbott and Reeves were about to implement.
"I am really worried about reports that more states are rolling back the exact public health measures we have recommended to protect people from Covid-19," Walensky said at the daily White House Covid-19 briefing.
"Please hear me clearly," Walensky said. "At this level of cases with variants spreading, we stand to completely lose the hard earned ground we have gained."



Dr. Fauci says ‘ethical constraints’ have been put in place to make sure the vaccine is safe


Point - Vaccine safety is a matter of scientific trials and scientific evidence presented to the FDA - which evaluates Safety and Efficacy of medications prior to approval for use in the US. Determination a vaccine is 'safe' is a Given in teh process - not a matter of fauci spouting about his 'ethical constraints".

fauci loves the camera almost as much as does nazi Pelosi and Commie Schumer.



President Joe Biden echoed those concerns Tuesday, even as he announced the U.S. will have enough Covid-19 vaccine doses for every adult by the end of May.
"This fight is far from over," Biden said. "Though we celebrate the news ... I urge all Americans, please keep washing your hands, stay socially distanced, wear masks."
Abbott said his new executive order would rescind "most" of his prior Covid-19 executive orders, and that all businesses would be allowed to open "100 percent," effective March 10.
The end of the mask mandate makes Texas, population 29 million, the largest state to end a rule aimed to slow the spread of the coronavirus pandemic.
In a speech championing Texas’ economic prowess, Abbott said that “too many Texans were sidelined from employment opportunities” while businesses operated at reduced capacity because of coronavirus restrictions.
Abbott said the Lone Star State is today in a "completely different position” than it was when Abbott first issued a coronavirus executive order in March 2020.
“We now have vaccines,” Abbott said, adding that Texas set a one-day record of vaccine administration on Tuesday and is now averaging 1 million vaccine dose administrations per week.
Abbott also claimed that the millions of Texans who caught and recovered from Covid mean that millions “have the proven ability to beat this disease."
“Covid still exists,” Abbott said, "but it is clear from the recoveries, from the vaccinations, from the reduced hospitalizations, and from the safe practices that Texans are using, that state mandates are no longer needed.”
In subsequent tweets, Reeves said that Mississippi was "rewarded" for keeping its businesses mostly open "with more jobs and economic recovery."
"Executive orders that interfered with peoples’ lives were the worst, but the only possible, intervention for much of the last year," Reeves said. "Now, we are putting our focus towards rapid vaccine distribution. We are getting out of the business of telling people what they can and cannot do."


The last sentence : We are getting out of the business of telling people what they can and cannot do."
Guaranteed to send all the DPST/ccp nomenklatura into spasms of fright, agony, and impotence. The 'nerve' to state that Government should not tell people what they can and cannot do!!!!!!
the 'nerve' to think that Government should serve the people- not 'Rule Over The People'!!!!


an absolute horror to all the nomenklatura and their little docile deluded minions- what will the minions do without 'Big Brother' to tell them what to do and how to do things???

Good for Abbot, even if he is white.
