The Governor’s Executive Order requiring Texans to Stay At Home ends today, and tomorrow Phase One of the plan to reopen Texas begins. bit.ly/2Y8DrPg

Governor Greg Abbott today announced the first phase of the State of Texas' ongoing plan to safely and strategically open Texas while minimizing the spread of COVID-19. Under Phase I, certain services and activities are allowed to open with limited occupancy, and the Texas Department of State Health...Open up everything! Individual citizens should be able to decide for themselves if they want to go out of the house . We didn’t shutdown our operation , but suffered the consequences of shutdown businesses in trying to live our own life. Thankful most of the businesses I frequent remained open, however grocery shopping was a necessary nightmare( we didn’t hoard before-but will remain fully stocked going forward). Dining out is one of the pleasurable treats we allow ourselves far to often, we were denied that. Shutdown was crazy, we can’t all live forever!
Thank you my lord for releasing us peasants
Some crazy men posting here!
Just for you governor
Too slow. I am a high risk potential casualty to Covid-19. Heart condition, compromised lungs, and 59. I want all businesses re-opened, all travel restrictions lifted. Because my personal wellbeing is not what is important. The wellbeing of our State, Country, and progeny is! To survive an overhyped virus, yet exist in virtual poverty? That is not living. To see my children lose everything they have worked for? That is not living. If merely existing is acceptable to you, fine. Continue to quarantine, apply for assistance, live in fear. As for me, I would prefer to leave a prosperous life for those that follow, rather than cower from a disease that is of little threat to the healthy, and only marginally worse for any others. But I am not a selfish, "me first" type. Few Christian, Conservative, old Soldiers are.

Abbott already said he was not going to dine out on Friday, how about you? You going to go out and eat to show your constituents they have nothing to be afraid of? Seriously, take your family, have a family night out.
It’s a first step Thank you for your courage Governor
To hell with your phased b.s. we are not your subject's! You work for us damn it.
The government can take it's phases.and stick it. This crap has gone far enough
I’d like to know when the government will open. I will get out when I can visit the White House or Governor’s mansion
Our lords and masters are going to give us are GOD given rights?
If you don't want to get out, fine.
What happens when your local officials give different boundaries? In San Antonio we were told the stay at home order is extended to May 19th. So do we stay home or go out? So confusing.
Governor Abbott announced that Texas will begin Phase 1 of the plan to Open Texas starting this Friday, May 1st. The executive order to stay at home will NOT be renewed, and it expires on Thursday, April 30th. Thank you to Governor Abbott and the Strike Force for allowing Texas (and the economy) to reopen. bit.ly/2W7nDK0
He should have never closed our State and taken peoples constitutional rights away.
I find the Governor’s plan somewhat disheartening when he just made it easier to get an abortion than to get a haircut. The small mom and pop businesses need to open now not in three weeks . Some will never be able to recover from the Governor’s and the county judges and mayors grab of the rights of the people. Now when anything comes down the pike the mayor will want to shut down some business put not all.
You actually think that’s a good idea ?
Our cases are rising and the adequate test/contain structure isn’t in place This is careless and not a move that is pro life
If Abbott won't reopen Texas, Texas will reopen without Abbott.... #GetAHaircut #ImpeachAbbott #OpenTexasNow
Thank you Governor Abbott!
Too early to reopen. Cases still on the rise. Will you be responsible for more sickness and deaths?
As a doctor, this is an appalling lack of responsibility. There are thousans of asymtomatic carriers out there who can infect a geometric progression of others.
Thanks Gov Abbott!
What about the oath as a physician to do no harm. This is genocide
Guv Anarchist!
Nothing like putting the burden of a pandemic squarely on small business. If they fail now it's all their fault, right? And if they have to let people go? Well, that's just business. And what will you do to help? Well, that's not your problem anymore, is it?
Much safer than the mall
YOU FIRST
I think a phased reopening of the economy makes sense. The economic impact of this closure has been as bad as the physical impact, at least in Texas.
Great!!!
{insert ill-informed typical liberal "plague spread" response here}
Open our salons
I am still staying home.
Thank Goodness!
I just spoke with another Dr.who Said the opposite
Yep now you can go sit in a movie theater but you can’t wear a mask with a barber with a mask and gloves who has always had to disinfect everything between cuts. I’m a staunch conservative but you and Abbott and Patrick are all idiots.
I am continuing to update my website with resources that I hope can help you as we work to open Texas again. You can find information on jobs, meals, benefits, business resources and more at drschwertner.com/coronavirus/.

The Texas Department of State Health Services is tracking cases of the new coronavirus that causes COVID-19. DSHS will update the state case count each day by noon Central Time. Numbers are current as of 8 p.m. the day before reporting.What would it take to get the Texas Legislature back in session to begin impeachment proceedings on Abbott?..... .....and would you support his impeachment? Apparently, Abbott is deeper in the pocket of Big Entertainment than he is in Big Hair.....
There is no reason to be shut down!
FYI - the "feedback" portion of your website is broken (specifically, the captcha verification). I tried to email you yesterday, but could not.
anything in there for rent or mortgage assistance?
I think you all are doing a fine job, with the information given, I know it takes more than answering speculation to make decisions for your State. Praying wisdom for us all! BTW, if forcing immunizations down US is part of a long term plan, that needs to come off the table!!!
Jeff Smith If Abbott was Pro Life he should do this.So what must we do? Empower care workers. Change how long-term care facilities operate. Build systems that prioritize people’s needs. On my first point: The dedicated, compassionate people working in long-term care facilities who are so often overstretched, underpaid and unprotected - are the unsung heroes of this pandemic. We must do all we can to ensure that those workers have PPE and other essential supplies to protect themselves and those they care for; to provide appropriate remuneration for the long hours and difficult work they have, and make sure they have the appropriate training to carry out their work. Here, WHO has online training resources and guidance to assist. We must change the environment in which they deliver care, offering suitable levels of resources and staffing. Secondly: There is an immediate and urgent need to rethink and adjust how long-term care facilities operate today and in the months to come. This means striking a balance between the requirements of residents and their families, and ensuring that services are run safely and staff are protected and well supported. Establish comprehensive plans to prevent and control infections; Prioritize testing of any suspected cases among long-term care facility residents and staff; Provide PPE, training and essential medical supplies and equipment to care homes; Isolate all cases, set up separate wards or spaces for residents with COVID-19 even before the first cases occur, and make sure residents can be referred to and safely discharged from hospital. These measures will help cut the spread of the virus, and allow for the managed opening once again of such homes to families and visitors. And my third point: From now on, quality, resourced, strong and sustainable long term care systems that prioritize people’s needs and dignity must be our gold standard. Commitment from the highest levels of government, across every section of our society is needed. Coordination and continuity between health and social services, as well as across information systems, must be fortified. We must bring together physicians, nurses, pharmacists, social and other health care professionals, care workers, and above all, care home residents themselves, in decision-making and care provision. We have much to learn from each other. Let us share relevant experiences in whole-of-society, and community approaches to care. WHO stands ready to support countries to establish integrated, person-centred long-term care systems. In conclusion, let me repeat my appeal. Together, across sectors and society, we must act: Now to ensure that the services in long-term care facilities are safe and supportive; In the weeks and months ahead so staff are trained and empowered to provide safe, effective care; and Long-term so that every person living in care systems has a voice, and is valued. Thank you.
