I don’t find that fully accurate. CDC issued guidelines, not law. There were lots of factors, such as: edition.cnn.com/2020/06/05/h...

I’m not talking about the CDC. I’m talking about state and city mandates.

But wasn’t this thread talking about TN’s view on the CDC?

No, it wasn’t about the CDC. It was about what states did and what bunches of doctors and public health people were saying states should do. Heck, Fauci did the IMNSHO correct thing of basically throwing up his hands and saying “loosening these restrictions is a bad idea” but otherwise staying out.

Based on CDC “expertise.”

And the weirdness of this - relitigating the public health questions on BLM marches while RFK is today trying to end vaccinations and block public health information and discredit scientific integrity - is not lost.

The state and city mandates were incoherent in most places by the third month of the pandemic. The core controversy here is that a bunch of red state governors and Trump wanted to gin up COVID-related reasons to shut down BLM when everyone had been turning a blind eye to the rules beforehand.
