” John Waldron, COO of Goldman Sachs.”

GS is filled with rats. Keep an eye on your back Governor.

It's especially big since they are the two biggest states with GOP Governors. If this works out, it will be huge for the GOP as a whole, to contrast with the approach taken by Rat Governors.

I think my state of Texas will stagger the re-open on a county by county basis. There are some counties with zero cases of CV-19.

Presser began with announcement of Small Biz Loans, GS to provide $50M, for SBL for Texan biz. Will go to the Life Fund.

Businesses that will open and Govs plan will all be released via an EO that Gov will sign. EO will direct roll out of biz openings. Will not be a ‘rush to the gates’ opening.

Schools opening... an announcement, on that, later this week.

Texas second highest in country for CV recoveries.

Texas workforce commission has doled out millions in unemployment.
