Is Texas unveiling a Goldilocks model we’ve been waiting to see?

Karen Townsend Posted at 11:01 am on April 28, 2020

Monday afternoon as promised, Governor Greg Abbott announced the end of the stay at home order when it expires on April 30. He presented a plan recommended by the Strike Force to Open Texas charged with coming up with a science-based, data-driven way forward for the re-opening of the state. Abbott said that Dr. Birx agrees the Texas plan is a good one.

First, an announcement by the city of Galveston started Monday off on a good note for beachgoers. Its beaches are now open but with very limited hours and strict rules for behavior while enjoying a visit to a beach. In the age of the coronavirus pandemic, the catch is that we have to take the good with the bad when it comes to reopening up the state. The beaches are only open from 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. daily. The key rule to follow is that visitors must keep moving – no chairs, tents, or beach picnics are not allowed and vehicles are not allowed on the beach. Surfing, swimming, and fishing are allowed but social distancing is still in effect for those activities. Beaches in the unincorporated areas of Galveston County have been open since April 14.

Seems overly cautious to me.

Texas has one of the lowest death rates per 100,000 of all the states.

Seems Abbott needs to concentrate on the vulnerable in the long term care facilities as well as the top 5 cities in the state and leave the rest of us alone.

Screw all this panic and fear, I'm playing tennis on Saturday.
