You can’t protest if you’re sick though.

So I get it it’s a short term push to get recognition but if the pandemic is as bad as they say it means many people will be hospitalized or worse.

Of course it’s a devils bargain, damnned if you do, damnned if you don’t, but it’s still present.

I'm not sure if you mean "they can't join the protests when sick" or "they can't protest getting sick from doing this". For the former, I imagine those that are technically can if they really want to. For the latter, those that aren't are seemingly willing to take the risk of getting sick in order to help address this.

> it means many people will be hospitalized or worse.

Yes, they seem willing to risk that consequence.
