In emergency situations, it is normal to give a period of time for the emergency, typically 30 to 60 days.
But some of these governors have stated that they will return their states to normal once a vaccine for a Corona virus has been made. That is something that has never happened before and will take another year at least.
Where do they think that they have the authority to lock down their states in violation of the First Amendment right to free assembly and free religious practice?
This seems to me like an executive over reach of anitConstitutional nature.
Can someone tell me where they get this authority?

The burden of proof lies with economic lockdown proponents

In litigation, allocation of the burden of proof often determines the outcome of a case. If the advocates of continued lockdown had that burden, they would have to answer the following questions, now kept off stage:
—What have the lockdowns accomplished so far and what will they accomplish in the future?
—What are the public health consequences of a global depression?
—Do the benefits of keeping people from working outweigh the costs in lost and stunted lives?
—How will herd immunity be achieved under lockdown conditions?
A growing number of lockdown skeptics is challenging the received wisdom that lockdowns are necessary to avoid a public health crisis. A Stanford professor of structural biology found that coronavirus infections and deaths have followed a similar curve regardless of government intervention. Once deaths reached a certain share of the population, any initial exponential growth petered out whether the country enforced strict social distancing or not. Sweden has been as successful in controlling the virus as most other nations, though its businesses remain open; its death rate is lower than those of the most hard-hit U.S. states that locked down relatively early. Laos and Cambodia practiced no social distancing but have had no outbreaks. An analysis published in The Wall Street Journal found no statistically significant connection between the rapidity with which a state in the U.S. shut down its economy and its subsequent death rates.
