Not sure about the rules in the US out that country. But it's it really a crime to go to work? Especially some national law and state law seem to allow it. Just the county's burocrats seem to prohibit it.

Yes.

State law makes it a crime to violate orders of county public health officers for the control of communicable disease.

the crime here is county officials engaging in literal economic repression. It's not a matter of when the government orders whatever is says this week.

The fact of the matter is that if a business feels it's time to reopen, it should do so, cautiously of course.

Neither the employees or customers are forced to go. They have a right to refuse. They don't have a right to dictate what others decide to do with their business

If you're a drug lord, manufacturing meth, just because you provide jobs to the runners, doesn't mean they can't be held accountable, am I right?
