      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 …

      Here fwiw is one example of the "praise" that Vance is referring to. https://www.npr.org/sections/coronavirus-live-updates/2020/06/01/867200259/protests-over-racism-versus-risk-of-covid-i-wouldn-t-weigh-these-crises-separate …

      I struggle to see Vance’s take here as anything more than interested bad faith nonsense. A small group of epis made a public statement. The idea that anyone has shifted gears on this is really not true. Tens of thousands of police/Nat guard haven’t been able to stop these ...

      2/ No one is deciding they’re fine for covid and giving them the green light. It’s clearly and literally out of control. The impact may be limited because it’s mostly outdoors. Worse for those arrested. But v basic public health responses aren’t the product of engaged politics...

      3/ rather than fret over whether this will be another hit to “experts” I think we recognize that see expertise as a political enemy will use every moment to attack it.

      We were told we couldn’t have more than 10 people at an outdoor graveside service in Maine literally 10 days ago. People were afraid to come see my family. https://twitter.com/j_mundry/status/1267580544210153473 …

      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.

      I think the complaint with merit is essential activities necessarily balance harms, no zero risk act. Many public health people said racism is a public health crisis, protesting is essential. Agree! But outdoor funerals, church services, seeing a dying loved one also arguably so.
