Also, a number of SCOTUS cases and opinions give local and state health authorities wide latitude in powers:

In the landmark 1824 case Gibbons v. Ogden, striking down a New York law regulating steamboats, Chief Justice John Marshall described laws “most advantageously exercised by the States themselves “ include “inspection laws, quarantine laws, health laws of every description.”

Compagnie Francaise de Navigation a Vapeur v. Louisiana Board of Health, 186 U.S. 380 (1902)

Jacobson v. Massachusetts, 197 U.S. 11 (1905)

Self-serving self-worship in action.

Next month’s victims packed shoulder to shoulder. Nary a mask in sight. Covid smacking it’s lips. “Fresh meat!” https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/39ad92b58086dc591f156c713589242d7bd02b6ae8dcb45ace0d5ff5fd734f18.jpg MacArthur’s arrogance and selfishness (as well as the foolishness of his congregation) is astounding.
