Greg Abbott to begin reopening Texas businesses.Cuban admitted all business owners, himself included, want to reopen, but he’s not convinced consumers are ready to return.“The reality is the state and the federal government need to put together protocols that define what’s necessary to protect not only the customers coming in, but the employees as well," Cuban Fox News host Laura Ingraham Tuesday.Cuban listed examples of protocols that state and federal leaders have yet to establish for industries like retail and restaurants.Related:What happens when a customer leaves a mask on a table after a meal? Should it be treated as a hazardous material?
