Here’s the good news: You can shut down businesses or keep them open. Close schools or stay in session. Wear masks or not. The virus will make its way through in either case, and if we protect the elderly then deaths will be spared. 
There is no evidence that the protests caused increases in cases, similar to how there is no evidence that reopenings caused increases in cases.
Keep protecting the elderly and keep everything in perspective. Do not let fear overwhelm our decisions.

For the data nerds out there, we can see case rising has never been exponential. In fact, the change in cases has been on a slight downward trend since mid June. If this trend continues we should expect to see a decrease in cases in about a week. Too early to know but we’ll see.
