Texas Gov. Greg Abbott is allowing restaurants, malls, movie theaters, and retailers to serve customers inside stores starting May 1, one of the widest reopenings in the nation from a near-total lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

COVID-19 is a disease caused by the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, a novel coronavirus that emerged from mainland China last year. Fears of the virus spreading widely and infecting so many that healthcare systems would be overwhelmed prompted the vast majority of governors to impose harsh quarantines that have Americans largely confined at home.
