They Are Not Protestors - They are Terrorists

Let's start by making two distinctions here: by definition, the word protesting means "the expression of disapproval of or objection to something" and the word terrorism is defined as "the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims".
For those who don't know why I'm defining two words that seem to have no correlation to each other - over the past week, there have been "protests" against the nationwide lockdowns due to the COVID 19 outbreak.

I know someone out there is going: "Well that's their right to protest as an American citizen!"
And you are 100 percent right. That is our right as American citizens to peaceably assemble. It is stated right there in the First Amendment: "Congress shall make no law... prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances."

However, here's my issue; this disease has taken the lives of 41,356 people in the United States alone. It can live on hard surfaces for several days, including your clothes. It can be passed through the air as well, so breathing near someone, even if you don't feel any current symptoms, can be potentially life-threatening. I have a problem with people who are too selfish to realize that this is bigger than them, that this disease can affect anybody. I have a problem with people thinking that the government actually trying to protect us for once instead of facing a mass extinction "isn't fair" because "they're taking away our rights."

Now for the terrorism part. I know it may sound like a bit of stretch, especially because many of these protestors were just carrying signs and there was no violence involved. However, in states like Michigan, some protestors have gone as far as bringing their assault rifles to their protests. While it is legal for a person to carry a firearm in public "as long as the person is carrying the firearm with lawful intent and the firearm is not concealed", I don't really get what the point of bringing your guns to a peaceful (and quite frankly confusing) protest is. Are they attempting to intimidate to get their message across? Well it's hard to assay, and I don't want to assume but that was definitely my first thought when I stumbled upon the photo below.

Not to mention the fact that going against the CDC's orders regarding a deadly disease is basically saying that you don't care about the consequences for you and most importantly other people.

On March 26th, around the time that the seriousness of COVID-19 began to rise, an article was published in regards to a woman facing terrorism charges for breathing and coughing on fruit in the grocery store. The woman claimed she had the virus and was going to get everyone else sick. While this is an extreme case, and I'm sure all these lovely protestors don't have the disease because they seem to think they are immune, they still can carry the disease without displaying any symptoms and that's VERY dangerous to just disregard that.

And all I can sit and think is what's the difference between that women coughing on fruit and these people gathering in large crowds standing right next to each other, and breathing on each other... what's the difference? If breathing on fruit when you think you're sick is terrorism then what's the difference between disregarding what the government and the CDC say when it comes to gathering in large groups and practicing social distancing for the time being? What makes disregarding what officials advise you to do to keep EVERYONE safe any different than breathing/coughing on fruit?
I'm still trying to figure that out. I guess I'll have plenty of time to contemplate it as I stay home and follow directions to ensure the safety of the nation.
