Protests

Honestly, this photo of protests taking place is frustrating. The entire point of quarantining is to self-isolate and limit our contact with others. By going out and gathering in mobs, these people are blatantly disregarding the isolation and putting many more at risk. Because of their inability to stay at home, these protesters put not only themselves at risk to the virus, but also those they live with. It’s understandable to want to go outside and see people and work, however there is a good reason for us not to! It’s to stay safe and protect our health. The saying is “Better safe than sorry”. So many people are doing their best to flatten the curve and stay isolated, so why can’t they do the same? This situation reminds me of the times when a teacher punishes the entire class for something one person did, because that one person just couldn’t follow the rules.
