This is the right time to enforce the mask and social distance requirements. I would say we're pretty late in this game, but the strategy will work if it's done right and everybody follows it right away.
We've shown that the guidelines can be effective. California was on a downward slope in the low 1,000s daily positive cases before the ease of restriction were to take place.
Then we went the wrong way and we're now seeing 4,000 and more each day.

Texas opened the day or day after Trump said we need to open the country, a suck up move. We made national news then and are now. We met none of the criteria for the CDC opening plan. Infections were still climbing. The opening was expedited with no pauses to see what happens checkpoints.
Now we are setting a new infection record everyday. After a week or more of that, the Governor finally declared all Texans must wear masks at some level of cases in each county. But he hasn't closed any of the primary infection spots like bars. More people wearing masks should slow the rate of increases but I think we are a long way from any downturn and certainly not to level the CDC recommends to even start an opening plan.
Fight or die in Texas has nothing to do with defeating the virus. It means fight anyone that sounds like they might be telling me what to do or wants any level of gun control. I will be surprised if I don't see many more confederate flags flying behind lifted diesel pickup trucks with huge tires, gun racks, a don't tread on me, out of my cold dead hands and Trump bumper stickers, almost always speeding, tailgating, smoking like a tire fire and pedal to the metal from each traffic light. In Texas, when you buy a pickup truck one of the dealer installed accessories is a Redneck kit with the lift kit, tires and all the stickers already applied. They won't be wearing masks and neither will their friends or family.
