+2 COVID Legislative Fixes in Texas

1. A bill that moves pandemic response control to health agencies, which Texas legislature considered after Ebola, but which died in Committee
2. An inactive Pandemic task force that didn’t meet often. If you think task forces aren’t going to have required meeting schedules, you’re not paying attention. Welcome to 2020, where the level of attention has intensified.
