Repeal much and studies needed for further restrictions
 

Regarding the Masks: 

Data still does not support mask wearing by vaccinated folks as helpful; DOLI or any agency/authority should not make further decisions or restrictions based on the tide of public opinion and fear without a proven and relevant study referenced.

Regarding the rest:

The DOLI is still operating on January assumptive data, reviewing since June, while the governor continues to act independently of DOLI for executive orders; with at least some differences with the CDC recommendations.  There are too many conflicts.  DOLI should exit these considerations; discussions, forums, and procedures of DOLI are not going to be able to keep up with the moving targets of other guidance and orders.

Remove yourselves as much as possible from this confusing heap.  Specifically for office buildings and other lower-risk businesses.  Let the governor provide the guidance and orders alone for lower-risk business activities and general public safety until the state of emergency is removed.
