Sorry, the numbers will go up again from that “low cases and death count” and will continue to rise and fall during the year. Texas recorded 155 Covid deaths yesterday (1250 in the US). We will soon get that “third wave“ that Western Europe is going through now. This is going to go on for years, and the number of daily new cases and deaths will depend on human movement and social behavior during the spikes.
And don't forget that many businesses are still requiring masks and social distancing. Abbott may have declared the state open but that didn't mean everyone opened.

Most businesses completely ignored Abbott's "mandate" I havent been able to go into one store without a mask being required
Bad link. In many if not most areas, cases have dropped for several reasons. Vaccinations and less testing. The more important numbers are Covid 19 hospitalizations and deaths.
Many places where the restrictions continue the cases are raising. Try to find some other way to explain away the facts!

Gloom and doom based on fear not science. The vaccines work and will end this for the most part by summer.
Deaths, follow the hospitalizations and deaths. So many more variables with cases due to testing variables.
The hospitalizations attributed to this virus in Texas have fallen from a peak of 14,208 on January 11, 2021 to 3,308 on March 26, 2021. That is a 76.7% decline in hospitalizations in 9 1/2 weeks. Here are the official links to the data:
Vaccines. They work. Get them or not, but I’m getting mine and I’m glad a large percentage of the people who are most vulnerable already got theirs (hence the drop in symptomatic cases and hospitalizations). If cases are still happening it’s in the younger population that doesn’t even know they have it half the time.
That's because A, they probably don't and B, if they did, 90% of them would have already recovered from it naturally. You had the vaccine because you were clearly one of the groups at risk. That has nothing to do with the rest of us or the rates going down.
