United States Mask 20 for 45 bucks, plus shipping. Made in Fort Worth. Government approved. No chance of counterfeit. I ordered and got them in about a week.

Nobody is forcing you or anyone to crowd in anywhere. If you or anyone else wants to spend the rest of your life cowering in fear, with face diaper wrapped around your head, hiding and watching Dr. Fauci doing his fearmongering routing on television news, have at it. Nobody wants to stop anyone from doing that.

Well that's a good way to take everyone's mind off the dismal job he did when his people were out of electricity and water in the middle of a freeze.

There shouldn't have been any mandate from government, especially this long. If you don't want to patron anywhere that doesn't require a mask, stay home. If you want to venture out and protect yourself from others, wear a N95 mask while out and distance yourself. In any case, it's about time this mandate and restrictions are lifted.

So after refusing to take precautions from covid, don't complain about it, if you come down with it.

11.6 the other day, no telling what it is today. Just short of 10,000 got their second shot at the vaccine site I went too (last week). That's just one site, in one county. It's coming along, of course we shouldn't rest until everybody who wants one gets it.

A "look the other way" concept from Abbott like hes notorious for for his complete BUNGLING of the weather Freeze/power outage a few weeks ago. Only 6 percent vaccinated. Not only is it going to kill thousands of more people (as Texas will clearly be back out partying) but it set the state back probably a year or more

People are just dumb.
Don’t jump off a bridge if you don’t want to just because everyone else is doing it.
Really.

I won't. Maybe I have already had it and did not even know. Or, maybe I am just naturally immune, the way that so many other people are.
