Texas plans to loosen restrictions

Thank you Texas

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott announces team to restart the economy, loosens some restrictions
quote:
Gov. Greg Abbott on Friday announced initial steps to begin the process of reopening the Texas economy during the coronavirus pandemic, including those that in the next week will loosen surgery restrictions at medical facilities, allow all retail stores to provide product pickups and reopen state parks.
quote:
The first phase came in a series of executive orders issued Friday. One order allows for product pickup at retail stores — what Abbott described as "retail-to-go" — that will begin April 24. Outlets will be allowed to bring orders straight to customers' cars in a manner similar to how many restaurants are currently offering curbside pickup.
quote:
Additional openings will be announced April 27 "after further input from medical staff," Abbott said.
quote:
"Even more openings will be announced in May when it is determined that the infection rate continues to decline and when testing capabilities are sufficient to test and contain" outbreaks of the virus," he said.
quote:
State officials, including Abbott, have lately struck a more optimistic tone about the state of the pandemic. While continuing to decry the loss of life, Abbott has noted in recent days that social distancing measures appear to have slowed the spread of the virus.
Thank you Texas

It's not enough.
Everyday in Austin, there are announcements that long-standing businesses are closing for good.

Does this mean that the Texas business won’t hog all the PPP funding now?

Step in the right direction, but not sure this helps those stores much if at all.

When do we admit that Texas' death rate is 1/12th that of LA?

Most stores in Texas are not set up for curbside pickup. Maybe the big chains that had pickup in store before but the small retailers cannot make this happen especially in a short time period.

Agreed, allowing retail to open for pickup only by the end of the month is pretty conservative

The few boat ramps that are open are flooded with people. Trying to get away from them
