Spurred by growing lockdown fatigue, more Americans took to the streets over the weekend as leaders try to ride the line between protecting people from the CCP virus and allowing them the means to still have a roof over their heads and enough to eat.
Rallies in Arizona, Colorado, Montana, and Washington state took place on April 19, demanding that governors lift strict controls on public activity, according to multiple reports. It followed similar protests earlier in half a dozen states, with people demanding a lifting of restrictions that have plunged the once-booming economy into a historic tailspin.
