Could this be addressed by advising people who have attended a protest to self-quarantine for two weeks? I imagine that if Trump held a press conference with Dr Birx and Dr Fauci, where they advised protestors to stay home for two weeks after attending a protest, he might face some backlash. But at the same time, he gets backlash for “mishandling the Coronavirus.” So it’s politically untenable for him to give the scientific advice to stay home after protesting. He’s damned if he does, damned if he doesn’t. IMO this reveals some hypocrisy on the part of the media pundits painting these narratives, but I digress...

Well I don't think we should be making rules for protests. The risks with protests are exactly the same as the risks on public transport or visiting a coffee shop. You risk coming into contact with someone who is infected. That's why the contact tracing is so important. If someone starts suggesting you should isolate simply for attending a rally then the obvious question is should you isolate if you visit a packed casino, or even the Republican National Convention?
