Can we concede that these protests did address a very serious issue and a noble cause and a fundamental human right AND ALSO caused mass gatherings with no social distancing that very likely resulted in that spike in cases?

Somehow that has become a political issue where people will only admit to one of those things.

You’re telling me Daily Mail is not a great source..? 😂

No evidence. Many other articles from more reputable sources showing protests did not cause a spike. Let’s read past the headline KPMG.

I did. And most articles have similar statements (did not lead to increase, or inconclusive at best). The article OP posted states the opposite.

Even if protests contributed, let’s think about what exacerbated. Police are corralling protestors into small spaces and then tear gassing and pepper spraying. Nothing like forcing a lack of social distancing and then making everyone cough

Accepted an offer of employment with a mid-sized firm to begin in a couple of months. I’ve always wanted to shoot for big law but haven’t had the opportunity thus far. Overall, I accepted because I didn’t want to take the opportunity for granted in addition to the uncertainty with hiring due to covid. Would it be an issue to shoot for a big law opportunity in the interim? I know how this looks and sounds, so I definitely don’t want to set a precedent that I deal in bad faith.
