I think the Guard is just getting ready, not to shut down perse but to help. There's more rumors than people right now...
They typically get deployed during situations like this to help, I believe they did during the last Chinese flu, SARS.

Yeah. I think the gov said the guard would be carrying water, food and sanitizer - not guns.

The guns are probably disassembled in their packs or rolled up in their sleeping mats.............not that we've ever done that before or anything while providing aid.................

Meanwhile in Florida...
Christ I know, embarrassing. I mean my area closed beaches early but Clearwater Beach, though 3.5 hours away, is still part of my state so I have to take the heat for it.

In my defense, most of the spring breakers are from NY or NJ.

You are a model, upstanding citizen, and probably top 3 posters on this forum. I won't hold this against you.

I saw some of these interviews, so embarrassing... as a parent, it must be horrifying to see one of their own being a total ass on TV. Just looks so bad.

That one idiot became the face of Covid-19 in a 30 second interview.

Texas national guard is already activated.
Two fold mission:

1> mobile testing facilities to augment civilian testing centers...people prepped, supplies pending.
2> behind that is a ton of logistics units for sustainment. Food, water, fuel.
