      To the extent there's a backlash over experts downplaying Covid-19 concerns around the protests, it will probably look something like this. Too early to say if it'll exact a lasting toll on expert credibility among many Americans who were previously on board w/ social distancing. https://twitter.com/JDVance1/status/1268290231251472391 …

      the much better apples to apples argument here is about beaches, anti-lockdown protests etc. Not being able to go *into hospitals and nursing homes* during the pandemic is a quite different.

      Sort of. But the similarity is that protesters are saying, "It's OK because I'm willingly taking the risk of getting sick," which is something lots of ppl said about getting to see their family members in the hospitals, but that in their case wasn't accepted.

      there's a larger public health rationale about controlling people coming in and out of facilities like hospitals and nursing homes in a the middle of a pandemic, as opposed to....the streets

      it's not just the risk of you getting sick it's also *bringing infection into those places*

      It was unconscionable not to have PPE so people could safely visit dying loved ones and we didn't give them the choice with whatever PPE they could muster on their own. TBH I'd be fuming, too, at the nonchalant reaction to protests—even as I think they're outdoors and lower risk.

      Replying to @zeynep @chrislhayes and

      I railed against the beach/park shaming, too. It wasn't scientific and it just went on and on and on. With no follow up, and thus constantly ignoring the lack of major outbreaks from the alleged incidents. People have a point—even as I think protests are an essential activity.

      I say this in a piece I wrote about tear gas, risk and protesting in a pandemic. There's no way to eliminate risk. Authorities are making things worse. But outdoor funerals, church services etc. have a similar argument: that people consider them essential.https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2020/06/i-cant-breathe-using-tear-gas-during-pandemic/612673/ …
