Agree that staying out of a county in crisis is good policy. Never saw your website source before, it leans hard to the right, @ least the issue you linked. The author's columns in this publication exclusively target this constitutionality question. Not the final answer on constitutionality of COVID responses, just the author's opinion that his personal selection of court decisions may or should be a basis to find COVID lockdowns unconstitutional. The article cited does not mention Gunnison or counties, instead it is aimed @ the Governor's edict. Per the article, "Denver has used that tool improperly: It has overreacted and has potentially violated the constitutional rights of city residents and of millions of others." I added the emphasis. Thanks for posting this article. Below is another discussion, this one a news story rather than an editorial opinion.There is now federal case law precedent that these overbroad / underinclusive orders are unconstitutional.

In sum, Colorado’s orders are classic examples of infringements of fundamental rights that are both overbroad and underinclusive—and therefore unconstitutional.pagetwo.completecolorado.com
But just because something is legal doesn't mean we should do it. Please stay home.
