Vilified, threatened with violence and in some cases suffering from burnout, dozens of state and local public health leaders around the U.S. have resigned or have been fired amid the coronavirus outbreak, a testament to how politically combustible masks, lockdowns and infection data have become.
One of the latest departures came Sunday, when California’s public health director, Dr. Sonia Angell, was ousted following a technical glitch that caused a delay in reporting hundreds of thousands of virus test results — information used to make decisions about reopening businesses and schools.
Last week, New York City’s health commissioner was replaced after months of friction with the Police Department and City Hall.
A review by the Kaiser Health News service and The Associated Press finds at least 49 state and local public health leaders have resigned, retired or been fired since April across 23 states. The list has grown by more than 20 people since the AP and KHN started keeping track in June.
Dr. Tom Frieden, former director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, called the numbers stunning. He said they reflect burnout, as well as attacks on public health experts and institutions from the highest levels of government, including from President Donald Trump, who has sidelined the CDC during the pandemic.

It's like 1984 DoubleThink from day to day.
'Masks are ineffective.' 'Everyone needs to wear a mask to stop this pandemic.'
Bars are safe with precautions. Churches are never safe no matter what precautions are taken.
Two weeks to slow the curve. It’s F’ing August.
“Peaceful protests” are safe. Trump rallies are not.
and still....Orange Man Bad!
puke cuomo is blaming trump and the CDC for the 5500 dead elderly in his nursing homes
Maybe they just can’t keep up with the Big Lie
It can’t just be that they are incompetent. They must also reference non-verifiable “threats”. Got it!
The Public Health “Science” regarding CV2 is not.
And that IS a problem.
And it’s largely their fault, with emphasis on the CDC and NIH [Fauxcy, I’m talkin’ ‘bout choo...].
If Biden wins Covid is Over ... except for give-aways to POS Dem cities.
You knew it was going to wind up being Trump’s fault. Mountains of fudged data, cheating on diagnoses and cause of death, backtracking and contradicting themselves, discriminating against out of favor people (like churchgoers), discriminating against effective drugs and putting down any opposition...I could go on and on.
All I see are NPC
We live in a society
Yup go to walmart or home depot, ok. Church, nope
Theres a whole phucking lot more to this than just a minor coronavirus, thismis not a pandekic compared to actual historical pandemics
Well, they did save it for the end, anyway...
Wrong they sidelined themselves as they exposed the fact that they were inept from the very beginning on the very function they supposedly exist for.
Many of these so-called health experts are incompetent boobs on the public dole. What losers...and they likely “retired”. Pathetic .
Yep....maybe it has more to do with fake numbers and lousy models, MSM.
When Anthony “The Nose” Fauxi goes, let me know. Until then, the state “officials” are minor patsies catering to the whims of the state goober.
Maybe most of the suburban doctors nationwide will become fed up with the noise from the politicizing factions and take a vacation.
This China flu is causing democrat politicians to implement communist Chinese policies.
