'Just because something can be open doesn't mean it should be open.' Texas Gov. Greg Abbott announced the state will begin to reopen Friday from the coronavirus pandemic, but a Texas judge told CNN he hopes residents will not take him up on it.
"Just because something can be open doesn't mean it should be open," Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins told CNN's Erin Burnett on"Burnett Outfront.""And just because something is open doesn't mean you should go there.
The governor has made that decision," Johnson said, adding that he now has turned his thinking toward how to make the new plan successful. That thinking includes keeping vulnerable populations at home, encouraging residents to wear masks and increasing testing and contact tracing. "Being successful means saving lives," he said.Friday is the first phase of the state's reopening and limits occupancy of open businesses to 25%.
