Remember week 58 of "2 weeks to slow the spread"? It would be lovely to have a public health establishment that was competent, science based and trust worthy but they showed themselves to be dishonest and beholden to hysterics.

EDIT: And don't forget the spicy dash of left wing politics that they added to all their decisions. BLM riots were ok, church gatherings not OK.

I don’t think riots were ever “OK” in any official estimation. Are you actually saying the government encouraged riots?

And all indoor gatherings were discouraged, not just church gatherings. Especially gatherings where people sing. Remember the choir rehearsal that killed two people? [0]

BLM protests were outside, with majority of people wearing masks. There was quite a lot of outdoor activities that were allowed. The risk factor isn’t even close to indoor gathering in a poorly ventilated space.
