Yesterday was just a quiet day for me. I walked to the tiny library and exchanged a book, and then I walked to DS' house and talked to the whole family through the window. Later in the day it got really hot, and I turned on the AC and left it on last night. This morning it is cool enough to do without.
I slept late this morning and did not see the local news, so I don't know if last night's protests were more peaceful. It does seem that across the country they were.
I will go to Sam's tomorrow if they are going to reopen the concierge service. But I wonder if this is going to be an excuse to do away with it.
I am totally on the side of the (peaceful) protesters, but I do worry about all the crowding together, and what this will do to the spread of the virus. Surely there will be a big surge across the country, because the virus wasn't even really backing down yet. I see people wearing masks, but I don't think that helps a lot when people are massed together and shouting.
Now that I know I have no immunity I am more determined than ever to be careful.

As someone said, these protesters will be a bit of a litmus test. There will either be a vast increase in Covid-19 cases or we have all been (more or less) hoodwinked by the government.

We'd just started to plateau here in terms of COVID cases. We'll start to know in two weeks how well the protesters did to protect themselves and each other. (If there's not a big spike it will NOT be because we were "hoodwinked"; it'll mean the protesters practiced enough social distancing to stave off a big outbreak.)
