We are on the cusp of being able to fundamentally change the nature of this disease because of the way in which we\u2019re able to get vaccines in people\u2019s arms. We\u2019ve been able to move that all the way up to the end of May to have enough for every American, to get every adult American to get a shot.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe last thing, the last thing we need is Neanderthal thinking that in mean time everything\u2019s fine, take off your mask,\u201d Biden continued. \u201cForget it. It\u2019s still matters. \u2026 And it\u2019s critical, critical, critical, critical that they follow the science. Wash your hands, hot water, do it frequently. Wear a mask and stay socially distance. And I know you all know that, I wish the heck some of our elected officials knew it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>WATCH:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">NEW: President Biden calls Texas and Mississippi decisions to end mask mandates \u201ca big mistake&#8221; and criticizes what he views as \u201cNeanderthal thinking\u201d after CDC warned against complacency in the face of emerging coronavirus variants on Monday. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Mmdln3gNG6\">pic.twitter.com\/Mmdln3gNG6<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 NBC News (@NBCNews) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NBCNews\/status\/1367192228762963971?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 3, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Sen.

Rather, Abbott said that \u201cdespite these changes\u201d that \u201cremoving state mandates does not end personal responsibility or the importance of caring for your family members and caring for your friends and caring for others in your community.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPersonal vigilance to follow the safe standards is still needed to contain COVID,\u201d Abbott said. \u201cIt\u2019s just that now state mandates are no longer needed. To stay safe, Texans should continue following medical advice on preventing COVID just as they do on other medical issues.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow, listen, I know that some local officials are concerned that opening the state 100% could lead to a worsening of COVID in their communities,\u201d Abbott continued. \u201cAnd my executive order addresses that concern. If COVID hospitalizations in any of the 22 hospital regions in Texas rise above 15% of the hospital bed capacity in that region for seven straight days, then a county judge in that region may use COVID mitigation strategies in their county. However, under no circumstance can a county judge put anybody in jail for not following COVID orders, and no penalties can imposed for failing to wear a face mask.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToday\u2019s announcement does not abandon the safe practices that Texans have mastered over the past year,\u201d Abbott concluded. \u201cInstead, as a reminder that each person has their own role to play in their own personal safety as well as in the safety of others. It\u2019s a reminder that individual\u2019s safety is managed every day as a matter of personal responsibility rather than by government mandate. Individual responsibility is a corollary to individual freedom.
