The closures were done based on CDC, state, and county health official recommendations and directions. The goal has been to keep as much of the activities and lifestyle facilities as possible open during this period based on the guidance from these bodies, it has not been driven by money. If money was the issue then most of the last year would have been a complete shutdown as it has cost the district government significantly more to keep things open and cleaned and recleaned and recleaned again than it would have to just lock the doors.

thank you for your posts. I have learned a lot by reading them, and watching your videos.
You present facts as facts, and opinions as opinions.
On this matter I have few facts, but I do have an opinion. We should remember that back in February-March-April of 2020 we knew less than we do now about COVID. It was a freaky time, and trying to discern fact from fiction from the bombardment of sensationalized and politicized "news" was impossible. It has been bad, but thankfully, for most of us, not as bad as we were told it could be.
I can't blame anyone for reacting the way they did then, and changing their approach as time has taught us a few things about this pandemic.
