Related: About this forumO.C. health officer quits after receiving threats over mask requirement order
KTLA by: Associated PressDr. Nichole Quick, the countys 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 Quicks 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.

(51,378 posts)2. Orange County MAGAts are still butthurt over OC turning blue in 2018.
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.
