Los Angeles Shuts Coronavirus Testing Centers Due to George Floyd Protests
Description (Dublin Core)
The public health implications of the George Floyd protests are interesting and scary to consider. Shutting down COVID-19 testing centers in one of the country's largest cities will surely have an impact on managing the pandemic which still rages on. However, the protests of George Floyd's death are an important development for social justice and advocating for reforms. I worry for the safety and health of everyone involved in the protests as well as the public health implications of not testing for the virus in one of the country's largest cities. It seems almost impossible to strike the right balance in this case.
