I worked in public health, specifically environmental health,from 1992-2007. These people are egotistical, control freaks. They are in the spotlight and love it. All these local health agencies, LEA's, want to do is grow their departments. Grow they have.

I personally know this inspector. She is the norm not the exception.
I have conversations with a couple of sanitarians I used to work with every week. They are from different jurisdictions and States. They all say they FOLLOW the CDC guidelines. But their local guidelines (restrictions) vary.
One thing they all have in common is that these people made great money (25-40%) with all the overtime they received in 2020 while having meetings and writing these new regulations.
QTLA, While you are doing all your research go to the LEA's web sites across the USA. There are hundreds of them. Read all the varies restrictions imposed on the public. Distancing requirements are different, mask requirements are different, curfews, occupancy allowed in a restaurant or hotel, all based on the SCIENCE. Most restrictions are written based on "if", "possibly", "could", "maybe", "models" not on the SCIENCE.
Why can Disney World (and the rest of Orlando) be open and Disneyland (Anaheim)is shut down. Why are schools safely open in one State and closed in another State? Where is the Science?
Folks, I have traveled across MX and the USA. I have seen with my own eyes how all these different restrictions affect communities. It is not good.
I am not an antivaxer. 3-4 months ago I got my tetanus booster.
Believers??? Is this a religion? I had Covid, I have antibodies, I don't need this vaccine.
They have destroyed millions of peoples livelihoods in the name of saving their lives. What a joke.
I know the virus is real. I have lost 3 friends to it. I know many more that have been seriously sick and recovered. I had a mild case.
Yesterday I went to the Gardens of the Gods, enjoy a crisp spring day with several thousand other people. Today is Pikes Peak.
