No, it's not. The ones that are protesting are also being ordered to disperse and go back home. The reason they're not is because they're disobeying.

For those that aren't explicitly ordered, it's because it's pointless, given that civil disobedience is in the nature of protests.

On a more personal note, my 98 year old Grandma has been confined to her room at the nursing home for three months. Good luck to her civil disobeying orders.

Exactly. The fact that you can't effectively do a sizeable protest around that so goes to show how the population in general prioritizes these issues.

Yeah, public support for your grandma risking getting sick is going to be even less.
