Texas Reopening Businesses Offering ‘Retail-to-go’
The State of Texas is slowly reopening its economy this week while implementing the Trump administration’s phased guidelines.
On Friday, stores began opening with what the State’s Governor Greg Abbott calls “Retail-to-go”, meaning that stores can open if they deliver products to customers’ homes or to their cars with curbside pick-up.
To reduce person-to-person contact, all payments must be completed over the phone, and items must be placed in the back seats and trunks of cars, according to the plan.
“Because we’ve seen that this model works while also containing COVID-19, we believe that all stores in Texas to be able to operate retail to go,” Gov. Abbott said.
The executive order requires employees and business owners to increase cleaning measures and practice good hygiene.
Texas is home to the country’s fourth-largest city, Houston, which for several days this week saw no new coronavirus deaths, according to reports.
According to the State’s Health Department, there are currently 21,944 patients infected with the virus and 561 have died.
A recent Gallup poll shows Americans overwhelmingly have faith in Republicans over Democrats when it comes to the economy. In fact, the GOP “holists largest advantage on the economy in over 30 years, with 53% of Americans trusting Republicans more than Democrats on the issue” writes the Daily Caller News Foundation.
The poll holds Republicans at a 14-point lead over Democrats for handling the economy better. “The GOP scored 10 points higher on the economy than last year, marking the largest margin between the two parties since 1991.”
Gallup’s publication of the poll is titled ‘Neither Party Well-Liked, but GOP Holds Advantage on Issues.’ It may not be a shock that “The two major political parties remain unpopular in the U.S., with 56% of Americans viewing the Republican Party unfavorably and 58% saying the same of the Democratic Party” but the GOP holds “historically ample leads.”
