#2 The move is not only a violation of the civil liberties of all Texans.

Just like requiring people not to appear naked in public?

#7 Texas is full of sensible people

The share of Texans who reported being "extremely" or "very" concerned about the spread of the coronavirus in their community decreased from 54% in April to 47% in June. Those who reported being "not very" or "not at all" concerned about its spread in their community increased from 17% to 26%.
The share reporting being "extremely" or "very" concerned about either themselves or family members contracting the virus decreased from 54% to 48%, while those who reported being "not very" or "not at all" concerned increased from 17% to 27%.
The share who reported that they were only leaving their residence when they "absolutely" had to decreased dramatically from 63% to 37%. Those who reported that they were "living normally, coming and going as usual" more than doubled from 9% to 19%.

Acting like it's only as dangerous as the flu, because it is.

#8 CDC Website confirmed the change:

What is a COVID-19 Case?
A COVID-19 case includes confirmed and probable cases and deaths. This change was made to reflect an interim COVID-19 position statement issued by the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists on April 5, 2020.

The position statement included a case definition and made COVID-19 a nationally notifiable disease.

What is a COVID-19 Probable Case?
A probable case or death is defined as:
1. A person meeting clinical criteria AND epidemiologic evidence with no confirmatory laboratory testing performed for COVID-19;
2. A person meeting presumptive laboratory evidence AND either clinical criteria OR epidemiologic evidence;
3. A person meeting vital records criteria with no confirmatory laboratory testing performed for COVID-19.

I'm sure it was reported in the news. Somewhere.
