They don't care. Nor do they care that, for the most part, companies that benefited from the shutdowns (Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, tech in general) have been dragging the stock market along, or that the wave of small company bankruptcies has begun.

C19 was set to kill many people regardless of who was running the country. With large crowds spitting all over in rage, I don't imagine these protests are helping; thanks demos. At least Trump was willing to put travel bans up early.. instead of the scumbag demos that were calling him xenophobic and telling people hey come on over to China; it's fine!. What Trump did saves maybe double the numbers.
