Interesting that you use the term “lockdowns” in your post — as does the article you linked there. But the White House announcement clearly refers to “guidelines” — not lockdowns.

Those of us who were on top of this in 2020 knew what this was all about. The Trump officials involved in the COVID response knew damn well that the U.S. government has no legal authority to impose widespread lockdowns. At best, the President of the United States can lock down military bases and close national parks and Federal buildings. That’s it.
