O.C. health officer quits after receiving threats over mask requirement order

KTLA by: Associated Press
Dr. Nichole Quick, the county’s health officer, left her job late Monday, said Jessica Good, a spokeswoman for the county health care agency.

Quick is the seventh senior health official to resign in California since the pandemic began and the officials suddenly faced unprecedented pressure, criticism and threats, said Kat DeBurgh, executive director of the Health Officers Association of California.

At a recent Orange County board of supervisors meeting, a resident said she would invite others to hold workout sessions outside Quick’s home while wearing masks in protest.

DeBurgh said residents also took a banner depicting Quick as a Nazi to a public meeting and held protests outside her home.

L.A. County has the same rules .

And they are attacking our officials. It is the most insane thing. OC MAGAts are pushing conspiracing theories that County officials have exaggerated the risk of the virus and that mask wearing is a Democratic conspiracy to take away Americans' freedom, and they think this "overreach" will flip OC back to red. MAGAts are sick, ignorant, hateful people.
