That's par for the course for the U.S. at this point. Hells, we're so late capitalism at this point that I'm amazed we've been able to be locked down as long as we have; as it is, we've got a distinct minority in the government making noises about being closed up, and it's all the way down the ladder. There's a Colorado county that a couple of the Republicans in that county have made noises that they need to abandon the Tri-County Health organization because it had enough authority to order Stay At Home (and did so)... that turns out to be the one county that's not extended the order past the State order.
