Abbott...
Gov. Greg Abbott of Texas said on Tuesday that he was ending his statewide mask mandate, effective March 10, and that all businesses in the state could then operate with no capacity limits. “It is now time to open Texas 100 percent,” he said.
“To be clear, Covid has not, like, suddenly disappeared,” Mr. Abbott said. “Covid still exists in Texas and the United States and across the globe.”
Even so, he said, “state mandates are no longer needed,” because advanced treatments are now available for people with Covid-19, the state is able to test large numbers of people for the virus each day, and 5.7 million vaccine shots have already been given to Texans.

HSBC is set to withdraw from U.S. retail banking, a source familiar with the matter told Reuters on Monday, as Europe's biggest bank seeks to dispose of a business that has long underperformed.
The exit from the U.S. consumer business seeks to cut costs, boost fee income and continue the lender's shift towards Asia.
HSBC is to close 82 branches in the UK between April and September this year, claiming customers are turning to digital banking.
The company will have 511 branches across the country following the closure program.
Managers said they did not expect to make any redundancies, with staff moved to nearby branches instead.
Coronavirus and changing customer habits have altered the way we bank, but there are concerns over closures.

As Neera Tanden's hopes for running the Office of Management and Budget fade, media boosters are blaming bipartisan opposition to her nomination on sexism and racism.
Tanden, the president of the liberal Center for American Progress and a Washington mainstay since the Clinton administration, appears unlikely to be confirmed after key swing vote Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W. Va., announced his opposition over her caustic Twitter history. Tanden deleted more than 1,000 tweets after President Biden nominated her, many of them personal attacks on lawmakers.
Four senators — Democrat Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Republicans Susan Collins of Maine, Mitt Romney of Utah, Rob Portman of Ohio and Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania — have announced that they will vote against her nomination, citing her past social media behavior. What has also drawn suspicion was her decision to delete more than a thousand tweets after Biden won the US election last year.

Vaccinated...
The driver side is reversed not the relationship.
We currently have many choices when it comes to vaccines. Johnson and Johnson's vaccine, a one time dose, just been added to the market and it is reasonable for relatively young people.
Take the vaccine.
