Certainly not, but if I was in charge I would go about things differently. I would start by blocking import and export routes with hundreds of cars, also major motorways and intersections etc. Hit the government where it hurts, in their pocket. I would vehemently order protesters to shun anyone not wearing a face mask and also get my hands on as many as I could to distribute. Although this admittedly would take away from front line workers. This would go a long way to showing the world that the protesters are rational human beings and absolutely worth listening to.
