Yes, this is the real-life version of “I’m not a doctor but I play one on TV.”
Instead of looking at science and data and adapting her public health response to attack what we now know are the strengths and weaknesses of this virus, she is essentially behaving like an elementary school principal (probably because she was one). Exerting her new-found unchallengeable and unelected power over an entire population that she views as children.

They are qualified to opine on one segment of a very complex algorithm - which most assuredly includes the mid- and long-term costs of their actions. Nobody in their right mind can reasonably expect shutting down the economy and entering the next Great Depression as having 'good' outcomes for the mental and physical health of the people.
But but we need to listen to the medical professionals and scientists - until we find out they aren't medical professionals and scientists.

Honest to god, we have the dude in Office Space setting the future course of our nation.
Masks are the new flair.
