The death of George Floyd has sparked massive protests in the US, this article discusses the danger of protests as Covid-19 continues to spread. The cruel irony being that Covid-19 is disproportionately impacting black Americans. I worry about the impact that this will have on the spread of the pandemic, but the pandemic almost feels like an overlooked issue in this context. The rage and upset following George Floyd's death is palpable, and many people likely do not care about the potential ramifications of Covid-19 as a result.
