Well, this stinks......Abbott just reversed our forward movement....

Gov. Abbott: Bars must close at noon today, restaurants reduced to 50%, outdoor gatherings limited

Just one day after temporarily pausing the state’s reopening plans, Texas is now increasing restrictions on some businesses in an effort to fight the spread of the coronavirus.

Friday’s new order from Texas Governor Greg Abbott includes closing bars effective at noon today (except for to-go service) and reducing capacity at restaurants starting on Monday. Also, outdoor gatherings of 100 or more people must be approved by local governments, with certain exceptions.

Very discouraging. Destroying people's livelihoods for something he can't really stop. Has anyone ever tried to call his office to comment? No one ever answers when I call. It just rings and rings and rings.
