Figures it’s in Texas, where the Governor is pulling back some restrictions. Caught some of Gov. Cuomo bloviating this morning; looks like hospitalizations due to the virus have peaked in New York, and are on the down-side. This is all good news.<\/p>\n
Gov. Greg Abbott unveiled guidelines Friday that permit businesses to begin reopening their doors in the face of the novel coronavirus\u2019 spread and announced Texas schools will remain closed for the rest of the academic year.<\/p>\n
He issued three executive orders and rolled back some restrictions, including permitting additional surgeries<\/a>, reopening state parks and allowing retail businesses<\/a> to operate \u201cto-go.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re now beginning to see glimmers that the worst of COVID-19 may soon be behind us,\u201d Abbott said Friday from the Texas Capitol, flanked by state leaders. \u201cWe have demonstrated that we can corral the coronavirus.\u201d<\/p>\n
In addition, Abbott established the \u201cStrike Force to Open Texas\u201d <\/a> that will develop guidelines on when and how more businesses may reopen.<\/a> It will be led by James Huffines, a banker who has served on The University of Texas System Board of Regents, and lobbyist Mike Toomey will serve as its chief operating officer.<\/p>\n
The task force will be a collaboration between state officials and advised by both public health experts and business leaders, including members from the Dallas-Fort Worth area like Ross Perot, Jr. and Bobby Cox.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
