Found interesting information for those who ask – why can’t we roam the streets while others are doing protests.
Statistical analysis of protests in May showed no increase in COVID cases in the cities with protests.
Main reason – people in these cities stayed home more and increased social distancing after the protests started. Overall effect on cases is slightly below zero, so presumably – some increase in those who protest and decrease in those who stayed home. Look for research by Joseph Sabia for more info.
So, if you plan on protests, please make sure you block and scare away others from risky activities – subways, shopping centers, shuls, schools.
