Abbott followed his citizens and common sense!
Certainly people are free to wear a mask or two, or however many masks Dr Fauci is recommending today. They are free to not go shopping or not go to a restaurant or not do anything that they don't want to do. Liberals are free to cower in their homes, hiding away from the rest of the world for as long as they would like.
But, of course, freedom and liberalism are becoming mutually exclusive concepts, which is why liberals are so damned angry right now with Abbott. The interesting thing is that back in the day when I considered myself more of a liberal than conservative, it was exactly because the moral majority and conservatives were pushing their own ideals and morals on everyone else. Liberalism used to stand for freedom of choice for Americans. "Used to" being the operative phrase.
The reality is that it's never enough for certain people to be given freedom to follow their own course in life. For many people, they demand that their own beliefs and ethics be held over everyone else and they believe that everyone else should be forced to follow them. That used to be a trait of certain conservatives. Now it's a trait of almost every liberal.

"Industry and Occupation of Union Members

The wonderful 76 year old woman who with her daughter recently moved in next to my 102 year old father in NC was free to attend church and go out with friends to eat afterward, none or few of them wearing masks. She invited my father to go too, but he declined. Later she told him she was glad he didn't go, because some of her friends caught the covid virus. Then she caught it. And now she's dead.
She was free to choose as she did.
My dad was free to choose as he did.
He lives, and has had his two vaccinations.
My wife had her first today. My second is scheduled for the 12th. We wear masks and distance and are also free to choose.
The governor of Texas had better hope there is not a disastrous uptick in cases in that state due to his cavalier attitude toward this serious, life threatening disease.
True leadership!

Well Reverend...
As pointed out by real scientists using real statistics, it's impossible to know when someone caught or passed along Covid. It's a fools game to attempt to determine (and blame) certain situations for when someone catches is.
The difference between catching the virus with a mask and without a mask is approximately 10% give or take.... according to every empirical study performed. So there is almost no real determination (or logical reason) to just look for a situation where you were not wearing a mask to blame the catching of the virus.
If you are wearing a mask 90% of the time and don't wear it 10% of the time and then catch Covid, there is about an 89% chance that you caught the virus while wearing the mask. That is just a mathematical and scientific fact.
The idea that people automatically blame it on that one time that they didn't wear a mask is probably about as scientifically valid as believing that the earth is flat.
The Dark Winter President has been given 🖕 by two states.
I love it.

BREAKING: CDC to announce that Americans with COVID-19 vaccine can gather indoors without masks -Fox News
John Hayward
so does Anthony Fauci still have a job because he said the exact opposite last week
If America had done the exact opposite of what Fauci recommended we would have been in much better shape. Maybe the worse thing Trump ever did was hire him. And not fire Comey day one.
Has Dementia Joe called a “lid” on March
If you are none symptomatic, despite being infected, if you do not wear a mask and maintain distancing, and an older person is not wearing masks or maintaining social distancing, you can infect them and you can condemn them to death.
Remember when Obimbo said the rich earn $250,000 a year.
now it is $80,000.
😉Biden, Senate Democrats agree to limit eligibility for $1,400 checks
The Senate bill will cut off payments at $80,000 for single filers and $160,000 for joint filers.

How many migrants are being sentenced to rape, death, or being sold into slavery for being encouraged to hike 2000 miles? Oh, and guess what Roger? The percentage of positive Covid results for migrants coming across our border illegally is much, much higher than anywhere in the U.S.

So the gradual reduction will occur between 75K and 80K
Funny.

It is true that 85% of people in the study who tested positive for the coronavirus were reported to have worn a mask always or often. It is also true that mask-wearing levels were reportedly high (88.7%) among people who did not catch the virus.

thanks for confirming, alky.
THWAP!!!
REUTERS October surprise
Posts on social media say a study of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) showed that a high percentage of people who wore masks became infected with the new coronavirus and that masks are ineffective. The results of this study, whose aim was to assess situations of community and close contact exposure, rather than the use of masks, have been misrepresented.
It is true that 85% of people in the study who tested positive for the coronavirus were reported to have worn a mask always or often. It is also true that mask-wearing levels were reportedly high (88.7%) among people who did not catch the virus.

Thecoldheartedtruth has become a troll squad.

Of course not, you’ve never sniffed anywhere near that much less north of it
It is true that 85% of people in the study who tested positive for the coronavirus were reported to have worn a mask always or often. It is also true that mask-wearing levels were reportedly high (88.7%) among people who did not catch the virus.
So 88.7% is approximately a four percent increase over 85%. So the difference from this statistic doesn't even reach that 10% difference that some studies have found for different statistics.
But what we are seeing is that there is almost no correlation between wearing a mask and catching the virus. People with masks catch it. People without masks catch it. Both catch it at almost identical rates (within 0.3% of each other).
Cali is spot on.
One of Alky's biggest lies was "a 6 figure income guaranteed for life "
He disproved it, it was a spectacularly funny moment.
"so statistically, mask wearing vs. not mask wearing is a fucking wash.

I don't believe Alky understands what he posted.
No roger thinks he’s making a point, it’s pitiful
The mask wearer and the home mask WEARING catch the virus within the standard deviation.
Wow.
Nearly a year into the coronavirus pandemic shutting down the United States, it's time for our leaders in Washington to put aside partisan bickering and do something to help. President Biden's American Rescue Plan to stop coronavirus and deal with the pandemic’s impact on our nation does just that. And the American people agree.
Real American unity is more than about politicians agreeing on a piece of legislation – it’s about getting vaccines in arms, safely reopening schools for in-person instruction, giving every American a chance to survive the crises facing our nation, and preserve critical jobs and services in our states, cities and town.
And President Biden’s American Rescue Plan meets this moment. According to major polls, there is more bipartisan support for the American Rescue Plan than virtually anything in the last few years
Even West Virginia's Republican Gov. Jim Justice said, “We need to go big, and if we waste some money now, well, we waste some money. But absolutely, we’ve got too many people hurting and the economy is going to sputter and we’ve got to get ourselves out of this mess.”
We need unity to get out of the coronavirus crisis. We need the American Rescue Plan.

Nearly a year from Fauci saying shutdown 15 days to flatten the curve
Nearly a year into the coronavirus pandemic shutting down the United States, it's time for our leaders in Washington to put aside partisan bickering and do something to help.
In other words... it was fine to bicker, argue, be partisan, and everything else back when Trump was President. But we should all come together now that Sloe Joe is large and somewhat in charge?
"giving every American a chance to survive the crises facing our nation"
What crises?

Biden Has Set a Record for Longest Period by a New President Without a Press Conference
And he's still padding his record. He refuses to stand alone and answer questions from an extremely-friendly, nigh-fellative press corps.
People are noticing that Biden is refusing to schedule a State of the Union address, and the media is rushing to save him, noting that there's no absolute, formal deadline for staging one.
No, but in the modern age, it's always been in January or February.
As I saw someone on Twitter point out: There's no way Biden can stand for 90 minutes, at night, post-sundown, and try to read words he's seeing for the first time with that bullshit "Steely Eyed Glare" he always does as he slips into a dementia fog.
It might literally kill him.
Even when he sits down with a single, hand-picked Friendly "Journalist," he clings to his Nurse/Helper/Wife/Dementia-Whisperer, who is always by his side and ready to answer for him when he begins sundowning.

We're now six weeks or so into the sham presidency of Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr., and already the end of the Biden era seems near.
A bumbling shell of a man, constantly attended by his wife, Jill, and with the lengthening shadow of his vice president, Kamala Harris, looming in the background, Biden seems incapable of doing anything except signing the slew of executive orders his handlers shove under his nose until at last, exhausted, his team "calls a lid" on his workday and packs him back off upstairs at the White House for a nice lie-down before noontime.
It would be funny if it weren't so tragic--or perhaps it would be tragic if it weren't so funny. No one has ever mistaken Biden for an intellectual; indeed he has long acted like the bully at the end of an Irish bar, full of bluster and braggadocio, without being able in the slightest to back up his boasts.
The good news is, he's not likely to be there very long. The bad news is who might replace him: In Harris--the daughter of two foreign-born parents who was raised by them in Canada, and who garnered no support from the Democrat primary electorate during her short, disastrous campaign for the top spot on the 2020 ticket --we have one of the most dangerous prospective presidents ever.

Kputz said about an 89% chance that you caught the virus while wearing the mask.

and 85% WILL catch the fucking thing.
that's what we call a distinction without a difference, alky.
If 88.7% don't get infected 11.3% can get infected.
You failed math too.
@jaketapper @Kevinliptakcnn notes that an analysis of the past 100 years shows President Biden's 15 most recent predecessors all held a formal solo press conference within 33 days of taking office. Biden has not and it's day 42.

Only 2.3% more people with a mask will get infected.

SAN FRANCISCO — Facebook said on Wednesday that it planned to lift its ban on political advertising across its network, resuming a form of digital promotion that has been criticized for spreading misinformation, falsehoods and inflaming voters.
The social network said it would allow advertisers to buy new ads about “social issues, elections or politics” beginning on Thursday, according to a copy of an email sent to political advertisers and viewed by The New York Times. Those advertisers must complete a series of identity checks before being authorized to place the ads, the company said.
“We put this temporary ban in place after the November 2020 election to avoid confusion or abuse following Election Day,” Facebook said in a blog post. “We’ve heard a lot of feedback about this and learned more about political and electoral ads during this election cycle. As a result, we plan to use the coming months to take a closer look at how these ads work on our service to see where further changes may be merited.”
Political advertising on Facebook has long faced questions. Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook’s chief executive, has said he wished to maintain a largely hands-off stance toward speech on the site — including political ads — unless it posed an immediate harm to the public or individuals, saying that he “does not want to be the arbiter of truth.”
Masking and social distancing works fine.
Without Trump tens of thousands lives would not have been lost

Nonsense
Actually it’s the difference between 85 and 88.7 then divided by 85 and multiplied by 100. So cold’s 4% is correct
Regardless it’s statistically insignificant
Why did I go down that rabbit hole???
88.7-85=2.3
88.7-85=3.7
3.7/85=0.0435
Meaning 88.7% is a 4.35% increase over 85%
I was rounding to 4%
I finally got it!!!!
Regardless it’s statistically insignificant
BWAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!! Why do you post abjectly stupid conclusions like that!!!!!!!!
statistical significance is a determination that a relationship between two or more variables is caused by something other than chance
Try again party boy......with a minor in actuarial science......BWAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!
And the chance you’re a fat fuck that contributes nothing is

If you factor out all of the percentages: what percent of Americans catch the virus, what percentages will die from it depending on your age, etc....
A rough estimate of 200,000 people (100,000 wearing masks and 100,000 not wearing them) all who have reason to be out and about meeting others in public (front line workers), and are all under the age of 65.
Statistically you would see about 3 more deaths from those not wearing the masks versus those who are wearing the masks.
That number would go down if you looked at 100,000 of both who are basically not out in public much and are following other guidelines (such as social distancing and hand washing) when they do go out.
There is going to be a difference. Just a small difference that appears exaggerated by most mask wearing advocates.

Roger called his posts "nonsense".
Scott that difference could be several thousands of lives. Making masking political has cost millions of dollars and again thousands of lives.
If you actually gave a shit about others, you wouldn't have said all that shit.
Sorry Roger...
Just giving you the statistics that have been captured by those scientists who are performing empirical studies and releasing their results.
But it would be fair to say that over the course of this past year, assuming the hypothetical where the entire country refused to wear masks... that we may have seen an additional "few thousand deaths". I would estimate that number to be somewhere in the vicinity of 5000 overall.
Again, nobody is arguing that mask wearing doesn't help. But even with the vast majority of people wearing masks and following the guidelines we have seen over 500,000 deaths. Would we have really noticed another 5000 over the course of a year? Probably less than 10 people per state per month.
What I (and others are pointing out) is that there is ZERO statistical evidence that people who catch the virus can pinpoint it back to one or two times that a mask was not on. Or that everyone who caught the virus caught it because they failed to or refused to wear a mask. Almost as many mask wearers catch the virus as those who are not wearing it.

This is partly because the person’s memory and ways of seeing things have been altered by dementia. Memory about current or recent events tends to become damaged, while memory about the past remains relatively intact – so the past can seem more real than the present to the person with dementia. A person might see things that aren’t there because they are experiencing a hallucination or are having difficulties making sense of what their eyes are seeing
