1. Neither were many of the protesters

Hope this doesn't cause many infections or deaths of others

5. False!

What the hell are you talking about?

6. Most Of What I Saw Showed Good Compliance

Not 100% of course, but pretty impressive.
Also, in aerial shots we could see a lot of grass or pavement, so people were keeping distance, at least to some degree.
The biggest concern I had was the memorial broadcast for Floyd. I was shocked to see that high a % not wearing masks. Maybe 50%!
But, most of the protests looked like the preponderance of attendees were being smart about it.

8. Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer

Her own order states that people at protests need to stay 6 feet apart

9. What's that got to do with DC?

10. Just showing how protesters in other states faiiled to observe the orders of their governors

Unlike those in DC who looks like they adhered to the masks and 6 feet apart rules. Good for them for doing so as to not spread it to their friends, family and co workers. I lost a friend to the virus, so I'm concerned about a second wave.

3. There will be a lot of postive Covid-19 cases due to the protests.

It is just science.

11. It may have spread from correctional officers called in from Texas and elsewhere...

<snip>
Previously unidentified officers wore shirts with insignia from at least two federal prisons in Texas, one of which includes active coronavirus infections.

Deitch expressed concerns that correctional officers may be pulled from virus hotbeds that are already chronically understaffed, and said these tactical officers could worsen tensions at protests.
