Please keep in mind that Texas has had a very low rate of infections and deaths so far, and has had absolutely no issue with hospital capacity. So an increase, which is to be expected both due to reopening and increased testing, isn't a catastrophy.
Of course, numbers are going to go up everywhere with reopening, that's logic. Viruses spread. But reopening is inevitable and cannot wait 1-3 years for a vaccine. As long as an area's hospital capacity is adequate, reopening needs to continue. Those most at risk should continue to shelter in place, but the rest of society needs to get back to work.
