A nation of 330 million people cannot subsist on debt-financed government handouts for very long, and now that evidence is emerging that the virus is not as deadly as we all feared it would be, it\u2019s time for governors to get real.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>By John Daniel Davidson<br \/><em>The Federalist<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In what could be the beginning of America\u2019s resurgence from the coronavirus pandemic, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott announced Monday he will let the state\u2019s stay-at-home order expire at the end of the month and allow some businesses to reopen Friday, with restrictions. It marks the boldest loosening of pandemic restrictions since states began issuing lockdown orders last month, and could mark a path ahead for reopening the rest of the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Retail stores, restaurants, movie theaters, and malls across Texas will be allowed to open, but must operate at only 25 percent capacity. Same goes for museums and libraries. A second phase of reopening could come as soon as May 18, Abbott said, so long as Texas sees \u201ctwo weeks of data to confirm no flare-up of COVID-19.\u201d The governor\u2019s order supersedes local orders by mayors and county commissioners, so if all goes well most businesses in Texas could be open by June. <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2020\/04\/28\/will-texas-lead-the-american-resurgence-from-coronavirus-lockdown\/\">Click here<\/a> to continue reading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">(photo from bigstockphoto.com; used with permission)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LTRP Note: The following is&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":66,"featured_media":32173,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[614,4331,46,385,606],"tags":[464,1425,4292,4323,2920,173],"class_list":["post-32172","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-world-in-crisis","category-coronavirus","category-politics","category-freedom-signs-of-the-times","category-health-2","tag-truth","tag-media","tag-coronavirus","tag-mainstream-media","tag-politics","tag-freedom","wpcat-614-id","wpcat-4331-id","wpcat-46-id","wpcat-385-id","wpcat-606-id"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.4 (Yoast SEO v28.4) -
