The same city who let a guy charged with attempted murderer out on bail because he was afraid he would get coronavirus will put YOU in jail if you violate their dictates. This guy shot someone in the head from close range. He is walking the streets today. Literally.

Our machine shop and steel supplier got an official letter from Emerson stating critical supply chain and we meet the criteria (as a vendor) of an essential business to remain open. so all 19 employees will come to work going forward.

Re: Houston Citizens Locked Down
my work is considered "essential" by law.
not sure how that is since our devices are elective surgery.
they have cancelled all elective surgeries for 30 days.
one day we only shipped out 5 of our devices, this was like last week.
we are not manufacturing critical items. I understand if they were gloves or medicine or masks but no. Just manufacturing a device that improves, not necessary to live.

I keep seeing cyclist going about their daily runs, people walking around like nothing. most are staying home but not all.

my girlfriend also called 8 locations that were listed on cdc website that claimed they offered the covid-19 test, all said no we don't do that here and recommended she go to the emergency room (where you can spread it more).

Houston is dropping the ball on this.

"Houston Citizens Locked Down"

Houston citizens didn't get the memo.

Everyone is bum rushing the stores, drive thrus, gun shops.

Houston is probably riddled with it already.

Re: Houston Citizens Locked Down
Houston and all of Harris County is on lockdown. Only essential business to be open but the list is fairly large of what that includes. Parks are closed. No one allowed on playgrounds, tennis courts, basketball etc. boat ramps are closed. Gyms closed. Bars and restaurants closed except for takeout. Grocery stores and pharmacies open. Galveston on lockdown, beaches closed. No road blocks anywhere yet. The lockdown for Harris county is midnight tonight. No more than 2 people outside in a yard and they must be 6 ft apart. Penalties were not discussed and neither was methods of enforcement.

You had eyes to see, have excellent pattern recognition,and the intelligence to apply that foresight by preparing your company.

You are an exception. A blessing of an exception, but still an exception.

Too many people have planning horizons that do not extend beyond a week, or two.

A judge does not have this authority. If she is backing up an order from the mayor, saying they will uphold his order, then yes, she can say this.

But, she can't make orders and decrees over the mayor.
