WEATHERFORD â Parker County Judge Pat Deen says COVID-19 numbers will need to get âdramatically higherâ before any more mandates are considered.
âThe government has done what they can in educating people and making the vaccine readily available,â Deen said. âYou could walk in and get the shot immediately at the [Parker County] Hospital District or many other places.
âIf youâre vaccinated, thatâs the key to this â not pushing more government on people.â
Asked what that threshold might be, Deen said that was a topic he planned to discuss with city and county leaders and health authorities on a conference call scheduled for Friday morning.
Deen says county monitoring hospital capacity, not our job to mandate

Front-line health care workers at Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas are preparing for another COVID-19 surge.
This one, they say, is preventable.
More unvaccinated people are being hospitalized with the dangerous delta variant at rates similar to last year’s late-fall spike.
