With the eruption of protests after the death of George Floyd, coronavirus did not take a break. It is still a primary health concern, but has taken a backseat to racism and systemic oppression that is afflicting the U.S. In this article, the CDC is urging social gatherings that are for protests to follow a certain set of guidelines. The twitter user points out the hypocrisy present in both the lack of discussion on the President's proposed politcal gatherings, as well as the lack of recommendations when individuals were protesting to reopen the country
