Hey Abbot!!!!

May Day? Reds are gonna riot. Intruding on their holiday like that...

I need my roots done so badly. I wonder how much it will cost to fly to TX from SC. Only sorta kidding.

It’s a start. That said, how the hell does he expect restaurants, many of which barely make ends meet at 100% capacity, to make 25% work?

” In less-populated counties that have experienced 5 or fewer Wuhan Virus cases thus far (which includes more than half of the state’s 254 counties), businesses will be allowed up to 50% of capacity.”

Just checked - the 127th most-populated county in Texas is Deaf Smith, with 18,760. 50 counties have fewer than 5,000.

They may as well open up completely because I just don't see a deputy hanging around a restaurant making darn sure more than three people sit down at a time...

Critics of the slow roll-out need to remember that the media - and probably the lawyers - will pounce on any evidence that re-opening leads to an increase in cases or deaths. The governors HAVE to slow-walk it.

Best part was Abbot said the “order” announced by the Democrat Judge Hidalgo in Houston saying everyone had to wear a mask or face a $1000 penalty or Jail was invalid and unenforceable.

If restaurants would rope off half their parking lots and set up tables with Umbrellas, they’d be Busy as Heck !!!
