Social Distancing Report Card: Texas - Good, Arkansas

Social distancing, it's our new normal. You know the drill, we all need to try to stay 6 feet away from each other if they aren't in our normal household and if we can't stay that far apart we need to wear a face mask. Yeah, we get it or do we?

So now we can see how we in Texas and Arkansas compare to other states.

Texas seems to be doing a pretty good job coming in at number 15, but Arkansas? Yikes, Arkansas came in at...43? Seriously?
