Second, they probably think of public health officials as *always* wanting to keep *everything* closed without clear timelines. Now, the rationale is about new variants. I (Nate) think that + timing of vaccines is a good rationale! But governors may see this as moving goalposts. — PolitiTweet.org

Two obvious points. First, governors don't think of public health officials as having balanced all equities and considered all costs/benefits. They think of them as one side of "the argument", advocating for a position, with business owners, "citizens", etc. on the other side. — PolitiTweet.org

Finally, in the US, there's probably enough of a latent capitalistic/libertarian ethos that *even in blue states*, the governors' default position is that the state should not interfere in private commerce (whereas *public* services like schools would be different). — PolitiTweet.org
