@PearlandDotCom : It's important to note that Governor Abbott's Executive Order does not tell people to quit wearing masks. It is just no longer a statewide requirement under the State of Texas' authority. We still need to use common sense.
Texas has 254 counties. Only 37 of Texas' counties have
populations greater than Pearland alone. Texas has eight counties with
populations below 1,000 people. It simply doesn't make sense to impose a mask mandate in remote, sparsely populated counties where COVID transmission rates are zero or near zero. But in places like Pearland, it makes sense for people to continue taking precautions to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus.
Let's all be smart about this.
