So congregating in thousands ton”protest” over leftist causes is OK. Is it any surprise that normal working people might start to feel the Covid thing is more about politics than safety?

So then just call Trump rallies a "peaceful protest" and call it a day.

"Staying at home, social distancing, and public masking are effective at minimizing the spread of COVID-19. To the extent possible, we support the application of these public health best practices during demonstrations that call attention to the pervasive lethal force of white supremacy," the letter says.

In other words - a worthwhile risk.

Also, a group of 1200 "health and medical colleagues" isn't that tough to scratch up, I can't imagine.

I have no idea how these ~1200 health workers feel about anything else. Neither do you.

It was clearly a political ploy directly opposed to the science.

1,200 morons. Just as moronic as the protesters and those who attend Trump rallies.

Eliminating white supremacy and racism in our country isn't just some leftist cause but an American cause.

Covid doesn't spread if you are looting and starting fires together while shouting Black Lives Matter.

The letter focuses on health guidance for protestors and law enforcement, such as wearing masks, advocating to not hold people who are arrested in close proximity and opposing the use of tear gas for health reasons.
Seems like health is their primary concern here.

No, it's just the same old tired tactic every election cycle, except this time ON STEROIDS.
