Biden is lashing out at states that abolish the obligation to mask | Abroad

American states can determine much of their health policy themselves. Several states are relaxing their lockdown measures, but Texas is going the furthest. That state with 29 million inhabitants is ending all corona measures, including the mandatory mouth caps, said Governor Greg Abbott on Tuesday. He acknowledged that the virus has not been defeated, but pointed out the millions of Texans who have already been vaccinated, the stockpile of protective equipment and the many testing options.

About one in six Americans has now received at least one dose of a corona vaccine, but people are still infected. The death toll from the virus is also still increasing, it has now reached more than 518,000.

According to Biden, enough vaccines have been purchased to vaccinate all adult Americans by the end of May. He takes the fight against the corona virus considerably more seriously than his predecessor Trump.
