"Abbott is probably getting close to shutting down portions of the state. Imo, DFW area, Austin and Houston."

Don't forget Bexar County. San Antonio was the first hotspot.

DFW has closed all restaurants. The next two steps others have used is to close all non essential businesses, then shelter in place.

My guess is the CDC is modeling the outbreak and issuing the orders. When the shelter in place order comes, we are probably 5 to 10 days away from maximum healthcare capacity, or the maximum level of infections they are hoping to tolerate, anyhow.

There are steps after the shelter in place they can take, basically martial law steps, but I don't think those will have much more of a slowing effect if people are abiding by the shelter in place.
