Due to the disruption of the protests, the hospital I work for was put on lock down about 3 yesterday, and all non patient care staff was told to go home. The hospital is just to the west of the middle of town, and just a few blocks from where a majority of the demonstrations were taking place. After I left I headed for my neighborhood Target which is about 8 miles away in the distant suburbs. The doors were barricaded from the inside and the parking lot was empty. It was the most surreal thing ever! I did my shopping at a local grocery and then went home. About 8 pm I got a text from my supervisor that we would be back in the office tomorrow. I'm 62, and never in my life have I lived in such unsettled times. I think it is overdue, long overdue. But I feel very unsettled and very lost. Weird times we're living in.

400 years of oppression, it was overdue. I am very concerned that the protests may become superspreader events for the coronavirus, the timing of this is awful.

It is so strange -- I'm sitting here in a house where my two college age kids have landed + partner of one kid. I feel so bad for them - we are leaving these young adults the world in a bad shape. 1918 + 1929 + 1968 + 1933 all rolled into one year.

I live close to where you work -- when the protests were close by I could hear the tear gas shells being fired.
