It is the smart thing to do.

Not everybody has a basement, or a wine cellar, or a whine cellar, to hide in, especially in Texas, where there are no basements.

President Joe Biden has expressed his disagreement with the move as have many health experts. They say it's too early to roll back measures meant to contain the coronavirus and that doing so might lead to lost progress. Show Less

Way to soon, need to get more people vaccinated, then maybe if numbers keep going down!

Pete M.

Its so ridiculous to end mask mandates right now. Increasing capacities is one thing...this is just stupid and irresponsible for no reason other than their politics.

Sue Evans

This just a political move. He is already playing that card with his statement regarding Biden and immigrants. If he was soo concerned for the Texans he would push for continually mandates because of immigrants coming in not the opposite.

Numbers low, no worse than flu

Because it is time to open up. Those that don't want to, can stay home.

We have got to get this under control and now maybe we can get ALL the 65 and above taken care of!

The one-shot vaccine is less effective at preventing COVID-19 than its two-dose counterparts, leading experts to speculate some people won't want it.

Don't believe in that vaccine. I'm clean and don't hang out with large groups. I'm not really a people person, don't follow the crowd

Debbie Baker

I don't feel any of it's safe with will have a reaction with people's bodies in the near future and it's a rushed product with failure to come later down the line. Just wait for it. I'll never be the guinea pig for any government nor company

Harold Kerr II

I am already in the process of getting Moderna shots--have gotten the first shot and will get the 2nd one the end of March

Max

Why take the shot, that is least effective? That would be foolish.
