Quincy: Right. Right. And so it... it's impossible to do it. You can't you can't have a protest and socially distance. And I think that's the the thinking the feeling behind it is that, you know this... this ill of of police brutality and racism have existed long before COVID-19. And for some people, racism, police brutality can be even more real and even more deadly than COVID-19. So, you know, and unlike, you know, COVID-19, racism and police brutality, that's something you can protest against. That's something that, you know, things can be put in place to change, unlike COVID-19, where you have to sort of wait until there's a vaccine or universal testing. So I feel like people feel like, you know, going out there is something that can have a tangible impact. But, you know, I also spoke to people who said, you know, that, you know, "It's either the police are going to kill me or COVID-19. So, you know, either way, I'm going to be out here." Or people were just so angry and so fed up that they said, you know, "Pandemic or no pandemic, I had to come out and, you know, show that my life matters."
