  Number of cases is irrelevant to lockdowns, though - what's relevant is whether the hospitals are filling up and having to turn away patients, which we don't see happening.

    This is more of an "in spite of" rather than "because of". The openness may be causing more infections, but the medical system can handle the load due to the rate of vaccinations present now that weren't present when Texas disastrously tried to open up last summer.
