Joe #Biden is moving up America’s vaccine calendar by two months. The #US president says there will be enough vaccines for all US adults by the end of May. Despite that good news, both Biden and America’s top disease expert Anthony Fauci say it’s still too early to relax #Covid-19 restrictions. That didn’t stop the largest state of #Texas however from making moves to get back to normal. Governor Greg Abbott says that as of next week, businesses can work at full capacity and Texans will no longer be required to wear face masks.
