re: NY Times - Are Protests Unsafe?

This is all very simple if you realize that all of their judgments are to advanced the left wing agenda and defeat Trump.

First lock down the economy

Then, let's pause the lockdowns because we are scoring big with these protests, so for now protests don't spread the Corona.

Finally, now that we've milked the protests to the point of diminishing, and possibly negative, returns let's reestablish lockdowns. But to do so we must admit that the protests were spreaders of Corona.
