Lake Travis is mostly closed as of last night, majority of ramps are blocked off. It wasn't due to the boaters but I believe it was all the people gathering at the parks.

the sun is good for you as it provides Vitamin d and that is good for you. During the 1917-1918 pandemic here in Forth Worth the hospitals put people outside in the sun and the people got better. Also viruses like indoor places not the great outdoors. I have been out fishing twice since the shelter in place order and will go again. I think Gov. Abbott is doing a great job leaving it to the cities to decide for shelter in place orders. Some counties have not even had one case of covid 19..Carry on Texas and ya'll people from other states us Texans don't like being told what do to from outsiders..

We have almost 15 times the population as your state- of course we have more cases. Don’t lose any sleep over Texas as we will be aight. Plus 5 very busy international airports. Lots of people pass through Texas. We will be fine.

I'm not happy that I can't go fishing but I'm concerned that your state is not protecting you. It's interesting that your number of confirmed coronavirus cases are more than New Mexico's yet you aren't restricted. Trust me if I could I would be fishing too! Best wishes try and stay healthy! Bummer dude! Bad enough you live in NM, but Santa Fe? Talk about double down........

I was thinking about going to New Mexico. For Fishing? Don't think that's a good idea even when there isn't a pandemic. Now for snow....yes.

Our state has a lot of transplants from those big states that people moved here to avoid the high taxes etc. so there is a large population that came from those hard hit areas, and they still have family and friends from those areas hard hit such as California and New York and others. I can see a large exodis of people fleeing to get out of those areas and go to other states to get somewhere where the hospitals aren't over crowded and risk not being able to be treated because of the scare comments they hear every day. Most of the infections started from people traveling from other states, and has now started to spread in the community in our larger cities. MOst of the cases have come from air travel --- densely populated area's with large amounts of people travelling in/out from other countries . The Nursing home in Kirkland Washington had 37 people die from one person travelling back from China. Add to that the Chinese New year Holiday ( where lots of people travelled from the US to China , then came back infected ) ( probably most were asymptomatic ) . I used to do tons of International travel --- the two times I have been the most sick in my life were ---once travelling from Narita to SF and the last guy to get on the plane was sick as a dog and sat right next to me , the other was a colleague that came here from Japan for 3 days of meetings , sick as a dog . I ended up in ICU for 3 days and they initially thought I had contracted Bird Flu , didn't think I was gonna make it that time . If you want to stop this from happening again ---- you do it at the airports .

Thank you for your concern, however Hitting the local lake, I'm alone, anglers at the boat ramp are alone or with 1 other angler. People are not grouping together. Seems fishing is conducive to practicing social distancing. Same scenario out here.. I was catching a few and another boat started sliding in my direction to get in on the action. A few fake coughs and he went the other way.
