Texas open for bidness...and this includes elective surgery

IF you can (or will) meet the “conditions of such.
He is a slithery fucker. He gave trump the headline he needs but the “conditions” he put on the order will make it so very few facilities will, or can, comply.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) last Friday issued an executive order on COVID-19 that included exceptions to allow for elective surgeries in certain cases.
Abbott's order seeks to limit these procedures such that they will not deplete hospitals' capacity or the PPE supplies needed to cope with COVID-19. His order seeks to limit elective procedures to medical facilities that will certify in writing to Texas officials that they agree to reserve at least 25% of hospital capacity for treatment of COVID-19 patients.
These medical facilities also will need to agree that they "will not request any PPE from any public source — whether federal, state, or local — for the duration of the COVID-19 disaster," Abbott said in the executive order.
