I read yesterday that Mammoth Lakes is operating a check point somewhere on the road entering town. If you're not a resident, you're not allowed to enter.
I would question whether that is actually happening, and it's legality if it is. Non-resident are not allowed to enter and risk infecting residents, but residents are free to leave and infect people elsewhere? How could that possibly be justified?
As is usually the case these days, the news reports and the analyses of them are overly simplified.
Mammoth is no longer offering guest services so they do not need guests, maids and bartenders to come from out of town. They still need plumbers and electricians and other products and services that require travel.
It is still everyone's responsibility to try to avoid passing virus in any direction.
