I mean let's be at least a little real here, and I identify as Left, but for a lot of people the protests and upheaval were a cure for boredom, conveniently packaged in a morally indignant reply to "What about the viral pandemic we have no cure to?".

I really don't see much difference in people going after direct Right wing protest to the lockdown itself and people saying the lockdown is somehow superseded by moral virtue: in either case you are saying some higher principle overrides your duty to your fellow human beings (in keeping the curve low...). This "letter of the law over all"/legalism is, in my experience, the basis for modern all American ethical negotiation and it has to be changed.

Just earlier this week the CDC chose not to admonish protesters for the worthiness of their cause: that should be orthogonal to the CDC's duty!
