Protests

 I don't have a lot to say other than that I am extremely saddened and disappointed by the actions of the protesters, but that I recognize that they are not acting in a vacuum. In some ways it is surprising we made it this far without massive backlash. The fear, uncertainty, doubt, and anger is understandable. I want us to be better. I want us to take care of one another. How do we get through this?

June 7th edit: when I looked back at this point I realize that for posterity I should clarify that these protests were the more conservative ones in which people were pushing for economies and governments to open faster than public health experts recommended. While some of the statements above could also apply to early June, the difference between protesting over property and dollars and human lives is one that I take very seriously.
