Looking at some of the images in the news regarding the ongoing protests sparked by the latest death of a black person while in the hands of the police seem to suggest social distancing is not really a primary concern for the protestors or the police.

Not asking what the response should be but more for predictions about what they will be, given the assumption of any resulting second wave occurrence.
