Do you think maybe the Democrats and COVID alarmists in the media were wrong to say that Texas was re-opening too soon?

@? - The Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are 95% and 90% effective. So even a few fully vaccinated people will still catch COVID.

Two facts from someone who actually lives in Texas. First there has been a slight flattening of the curve in Texas but more importantly most businesses like banks, groceries, doctor's offices and groceries still require masks. Schools do also. There has not been a wholesale dropping of mask use in Texas. We are not that dumb.
.
As for Texas being second in cases or deaths you have to remember, Texas has the second largest population in the US and we are getting lots of infected immigrants from south of the border.

Texas is 2nd in COVID-19 infections and 3rd in deaths. Only a brainwashed right-wing moron like yourself would be bragging about how well Abbott has handled this mess.

Texan here. I think it's too early to tell. The incubation period for Covid is around 14 days, so if there is a surge in cases it won't be reflected in the data until next week after the reporting comes out. But I also think some of this would be offset by the vaccine rollout.

The cat's out of the bag when it comes to coronavirus in the US. At this point it's best to let it run its course.

Texas is doing only as well as New York, but 9 of the top 10 states where Covid rates are highest are Red states.
