Are lawn crews considered essential?
I get passive aggressive texts from the crazy old hermit lady next door about keeping my driveway clean and the leaves from going into her yard. She even has had her lawn guy blow my sidewalks because she thinks it looks better if I keep them clean like everyone else on my street.Body By Fisher said:
We all know a leaf on the lawn is an evil scourge that must be combatted at least 1-3 times a week.
WOW, Seems like they actually put so effort into it unlike Galveston.BMX Bandit said:

The Montgomery County Public Health District (MCPHD) notified the District that a 13-19 year old student attending school in the Oak Ridge Feeder Zone on Friday, March 6, 2020, has tested positive for COVID-19. According to our local health department, the student was not experiencing symptoms while at school, only developing symptoms during Spring Break, which would make any exposure risk to students or staff on Friday, March 6, 2020 very low. Due to privacy laws, we are unable to provide further details. The MCPHD will continue to manage the notification of any individuals as it pertains to COVID-19 exposure.
Awesome. Exact scenario we had with my 10YO in CISD. Came home the 6th, said she felt weird. Cratered 30 minutes later and was down for a week with an "undetermined virus". Negative for flu, strep and whatever else they tested for. Her school is an Oak Ridge feeder.

Drove by Fry Rd. HEB and Cypress and it's back to hysteria levels, 30 people lined outside just to get in, zero of the practicing social distancing.
Meanwhile at Fiesta, you can park 15 feet from the door and go buy anything you want and be back home 20 minutes later.

Yes, the early tests took quite a while, because they were being sent to CDC labs. Being a model of government efficiency, the CDC labs were to put it lightly, slow. They actually just announced a death in Gunnison, Colorado where the person was dead for over a week before the received the positive test results. There can also be a very long incubation period, and even once the patient is symptomatic, it can take another 5-7 days to become severe enough to cause somebody to get tested.

Harris County extends disaster declaration
Commissioners Court voted Tuesday to extend Harris County's disaster declaration, one of several items to bolster its response to the novel coronavirus, hours after County Judge Lina Hidalgo announced a sweeping stay-at-home order.
The declaration, which allows departments to more quickly purchases needed supplies and services, will remain in effect until April 29. Republican commissioners Steve Radack and Jack Cagle voted no, noting that Gov. Greg Abbott's measures to combat coronavirus expire April 3.
Court members, by the same 3-2 tally, also waived all tolls collected on county roads through April 29. The Harris County Toll Road Authority stopped accepting cash on March 12, to reduce potential exposure of toll collectors to the virus or the illness it causes, COVID-19.
Inmates at the Harris County Jail, which suspended in-person visits on March 14, also will receive three additional free phone calls per week. Commissioners Court unanimously agreed to supplement the existing two free weekly calls provided by the phone vendor, Securus.
At a cost of two cents per minute, the additional calls will cost the county roughly $40,000 per month, County Purchaser DeWight Dopslauf said.
The panel also was unanimous in allowing county employees who are unable to perform their jobs because their departments have closed to the public to continue to collect their salaries. The workers, however, must volunteer from an approved list of charities or nonprofits.
Meh. I don't see it. We're only what, 10 days into this? I mean it sucks yeah, but aside from boredom, I don't see how the masses would react in way that there would be a huge backlash. This is assuming that no other "harsh" measures are put in place (IE, early curfew, grocery store restrictions, etc).IrishTxAggie said:
