And that's a value judgement they can make. The issue is that ordering was different for millions of people and they didn't get a choice in the matter.

  > issue is that ordering was different No, it's not. The ones that are protesting are also being ordered to disperse and go back home. The reason they're not is because they're disobeying. For those that aren't explicitly ordered, it's because it's pointless, given that civil disobedience is in the nature of protests.

    Good luck disobeying if you are small business owner who was told you can no longer legally do business. On a more personal note, my 98 year old Grandma has been confined to her room at the nursing home for three months. Good luck to her civil disobeying orders.

The fact that you can't effectively do a sizeable protest around that so goes to show how the population in general prioritizes these issues. > On a more personal note, my 98 year old Grandma has been confined to her room at the nursing home for three months. Good luck to her civil disobeying orders. Yeah, public support for your grandma risking getting sick is going to be even less.
