Republican Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves announced Tuesday the state will be open for business starting Wednesday, just hours after Texas announced they’d be doing the same. “Starting tomorrow, we are lifting all of our county mask mandates and businesses will be able to operate at full capacity without any state-imposed rules,” Reeves tweeted. “Our hospitalizations and case numbers have plummeted, and the vaccine is being rapidly distributed. It is time!” The average daily new coronavirus cases in Mississippi have dropped by 27% this past week compared to the average two weeks earlier, according to The New York Times (NYT).
