Protests staged against lockdown across the globe
'End the Lockdown'
Over 2,000 people took to the streets of Washington. The mask-less protesters hit out at democratic governor Jay Inslee's stay at home order. Several dozen protesters gathered in California too. Some demanded the right walk and surf with woman holding sign saying "we have the right to walk & surf".
Lebanon fails to comply with lockdown
Hundreds of Lebanese demonstrators on Tuesday reclaimed streets emptied by the coronavirus-induced lockdown to revive a moribund protest movement but stayed in their cars to respect social distancing.
Economic problem
Protest fatigue and a severe economic crisis that set Lebanon on course to default had already led the protest movement to peter out before confinement measures kicked in.
'Resist Tyranny'
The White House clearly isn't doing enough. Americans are protesting Trump's inaction. Fake body bags were placed outside Trump's buildings over the weekend. Demonstrators highlighted how every American is at risk.
Ohio and New Hampshire
Ohio and New Hampshire saw new protests against lockdown, protesters came out asking the life to return to normalcy.
Bolsonaro defies coronavirus
In Brazil, the story is not too different. It's become a choice between saving lives and saving the economy and driving this divide, is the Brazilian president himself. Jair Bolsonaro joined an anti-lockdown protest rally.
There were no face masks or gloves and president Bolsonaro repeatedly coughed into a crowd of protesters.
The Brazilian president is living in denial. In Brazil, more than two thousand people have died. But, Bolsonaro is putting the economy first. The crowd there practically endorsed dictatorship.
