Polis has been decent in his approach largely data driven, by no means perfect though. Somewhere between the inept governors like Noem and more level headed folks like Dewine.

Wow, you do have a way to misdirect. My comment was not about Boebert, but about your statement about Colorado. Have to stay focused, this is about the exit door and how these people, including Governor Polis use the crisis to bring their new normal . And yes he, like so many, has abused the intent of Executive order within our State.
But go and enjoy.

For the record I'm no preacher of lock downs nor one who believes we should just 'open it up'. Somewhere in between seems to work and we need to accept more people will die as we can't shutter the economy to protect every single life. Where I might find common ground with some of you is my disdain of the Patriot Act and the response post 9/11 where so many advocated for actual freedoms being taken away in the name of 'safety'. We can't or don't live in a 100% safe world but common sense mitigations in the midst of a pandemic aren't the end of the world either.
It's fair to demand an exit strategy, if it really keeps you up at night call your elected representatives and let them know.

But the assertion I'm getting is that somehow the government is continuing to put their collective foot on mystery businesses in the name of some evil plan to curtail your freedumbs. That ain't happening.

Metrics, every state has them...here's mine they aren't just winging it good grief. Enough virtue signaling.

If you notice, there is no metric in there that says pandemic is reduced to manageable, go about your life as normal.
Even the green line is severely restricted. So no, I don’t believe the idiots at the top have any intentions of allowing this crisis to go away.

Literally whoever wrote the metric doesn’t have that as an option. Green normally means all is well.
That only means 50% in this case.
What’s better then green? No way to know, and doesn’t seem to be on the table.
