[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]The county isn’t taking anything away from you.[/quote]

How can you possibly say that? I had daycare. The state said the daycare provider could reopen and watch my kids. Then the county said no.

How is that not the county taking it away?

We could argue over whether that is justifiable, not whether they took it away.[/quote]

It’s all happening because of a pandemic. If you think the county is responsible for that, or can/should be delivering you a quality of life that exceeds that reality, you’re...mistaken. Mistaken is the kindest way I can say it.[/quote]

Again, (many) daycares didn't shut down because of the pandemic. That wasn't a decision made by the virus. It wasn't made by the parents. And it wasn't made by the providers.

It was a decision made by the state. And when the state said they could reopen, it was the county that decided that they could not.

Decisions are, in fact, made by people.  Again, we could discuss whether those decisions are sensible, but that's a different issue than who/what is making those decisions.  The state, and now the county, leaders are imposing their own risk-based decisions on everyone else.[/quote]
