We must never lock down again

Not sure what is not clear to you

Can health departments enforce an executives office's mandates?
Hogan on Tuesday said any local health department that determines a business, organization, establishment, facility, or construction site in their jurisdiction is unable or unwilling to cooperate with social distancing protocols and poses an unreasonable risk of exacerbating the spread of COVID-19, shall have the power to require the unsafe facility immediately modify its operations, severely limit any movement to or from that facility, or "they can shut them down altogether.”

ST. CLAIR COUNTY, Ill. – Seven restaurants in St. Clair County have faced recent aggressive actions from the local health department and more actions are coming soon. It’s a new approach to shutting down indoor dining.
Restaurants defying indoor dining orders did not think Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s order was enforceable. Then the St. Clair County Health Department started stripping businesses of their food licenses.

The power is now there
If a mayor or a Governor decides Racism is a public health threat, why couldn't a health department shut down a business if it doesn't have enough minority workers

Businesses can fight back. First is shutdown the business permanently. That cuts off property taxes, sales taxes, permit fees, etc. Let the idiots in the health department get laid off when there are no monies to pay their salaries. Employees get hurt either way but, atleast, you send a message to the extreme liberals that their abuses of power will not go unchallenged. In extreme liberal California, businesses have packed up and left due to higher taxes and excessive regulation. Businesses realized, they can save monies just by moving their operations to other states. The same can be done to Illinois.

Stats on psychological and economical issues keep on coming in Spain, huge damage to the youth linked to lockdown. Lockdowns especially the strict stay at home order we had in Spring 2020 and which has now been ruled unconstitutional by the supreme court (over 1 year after the fact...) make no sense to me whatsoever, and no one is gonna pay for the damage done.
Son of a friend of mine, around 24 y o, just died of heroine OD, came as a bit of a shock as when he used to go out with us he was still a preteen with no apparent issue, dunno how or if the lockdown affected him, known a few kids over the years ODing.
Bitter about all this, it´s not only youth, I don´t know personally anyone and haven´t heard of many who died of covid, despite living in one of the allegedly hardest hit cities on Earth (Madrid, which has resisted immense pressure to implement other strict lockdowns from central and neighboring governments after last year stay at home order by keeping everything open but the late nightlife during the subsequent waves), yet as mentioned before of the 3
elders we still had in the family, 2 died this year of cancer, most likely hurried by the shitshow covid restricted public healthcare has become in Spain, and the other has been hit pretty bad by the restrictions on her social life.

I'm sorry to hear about your friend's son. That is a very sad story.

Kids' suicide, mental health hospitalizations spiked amid COVID lockdowns, research finds

University of California San Francisco's COVID response director fears strict protocols in reopened schools will continue mental health problems in children.


COVID-19 policies had disastrous results on children, especially in California, according to medical researchers at the University of California San Francisco.

Jeanne Noble, director of COVID response in the UCSF emergency department, is finishing an academic manuscript on the mental health toll on kids from lockdown policies. She shared a presentation on its major points with Just the News.


Suicides in the Golden State last year jumped by 24% for Californians under 18 but fell by 11% for adults, showing how children were uniquely affected by "profound social isolation and loss of essential social supports traditionally provided by in-person school," the presentation says.
