I'm not sure how you mean this. I'm in a state where the state legislature stripped the governor of emergency powers to enact mandates and stripped public health departments of authority to issue mandates in a public health crisis. As a result, we wait for our county or city council members across the state to vote on whether their jurisdiction will follow the recommendations of the public health experts who should be making these calls. So the whole thing has been officially politicized. School boards have been bullied and harassed by covid deniers and anti maskers for months. Many school districts refuse to enact any precautions as a result, instead, waiting on local legislatures to tell them what to do and the local councils are too afraid to vote on shit. We're at the mercy of science deniers and cowards to get through this pandemic now.
If it wasn't so tragic it would be laughable how completely inept the republicans in my state are to manage this crisis. It's like their official policy is to pretend it's just not happening. It's really infuriating. I could rant on and on at the utter incompetence handling this. 2020 we did pretty good until state Republicans got involved. Now it's quickly turning into a shit show as schools have opened back up.
