This Executive Order does not prohibit people from accessing essential services or engaging in essential daily activities, such as going to the grocery store or gas station, providing or obtaining other essential services, hunting or fishing, or engaging in physical activity like jogging or bicycling, so long as the necessary precautions are maintained to reduce the transmission of COVID-19 and to minimize in-person contact with people who are not in the same household. The order also includes exemption for religious services conducted in churches, congregations, and houses of worship. All critical infrastructure will remain operational, and government entities and businesses will continue providing essential services.
That seems pretty clear, but some parks and access points are closed.

I feel for the folks who aren’t able to work and make a paycheck, but if you live in a fairly large city, and you want to be NYC, disregard the protocols and get sick. This thing is real and the worst is not over, so I’m gonna stay away from folks as much as I can until it’s over.
I’ve lost over $40K (on paper) in the market and I ain’t worried about it. There’s more to this life than money, eating in the restaurant, drinking in the bar, going to ball games, etc., etc. Most people under 40 never had any hardship in their lives, well here’s a little bit, and I sincerely hope it gets better quickly

This strategy works well for homes that have an ongoing pest control program and it protects the employees from customer contact/exposure.
Pest control is necessary to prevent disease, loss of food products, and grain.

This is what gets me:
Abbott said 42,922 Texans have been tested for COVID-19, with 3,266 positive results and 41 deaths. There’s at least one case in 122 of Texas’ 254 counties
Everyone in a panic and only 10% of those tested were positive. So did they have flu like symptoms and yet still not Covid?
Still not even close to other "flu" viruses that affected WAY more people and nothing was done. I still smell a rat, somewhere. Not sure who, what, when but, somewhere.
.....and God Bless America.
