“Following science is important, important, important and important,” he stressed. He repeated the word’important’ four times, condemning some of the governors’ hasty behavior. “Wash your hands, wear a mask, and keep your social distancing. (This is a fact we all know.” He said, “Damn, I want some elected officials to know this,” he lamented.

Governor Ebot said on the 2nd, “It is time to open up Texas 100%,” and announced that it will lift regulations for the prevention of Corona 19 starting next week.

Governor Ebot said at the Lubbock City Chamber of Commerce on the same day, “Too many Texas residents have been deprived of employment opportunities and too many small businessmen have suffered.” Considering such things, there is no need for further action at the state level.”

The cumulative death toll of Corona 19 in Texas is 43,000, the third highest in the U.S. state.

The BBC said, “From the beginning, Texas has dealt with regulatory measures such as the COVID-19 shutdown as a matter of’quarantine versus economy’, and the issue of wearing a mask as’quarantine versus individual freedom’,” and said,’Deregulation is not surprising.’ Evaluated. “This measure will put the relationship between Governor Ebot and President Biden to the test,” he analyzed.

US political media The Hill said, “With the spread of vaccines, expectations for daily recovery are high, but experts say that quarantine is important until the last minute due to the spread of the mutant virus.”

On that day, President Biden repeatedly stressed, “By yesterday, 51,874 Americans were killed. By the time of the summer, everyone will be vaccinated, and this will take time. It is important to follow science.” .
