I am not keeping notes on RI any longer because the information the state is producing is first rate and easy to see graphically. On June 1, 2020, RI went to Phase 2, with positive tests, hospitalizations and deaths trending down. The state has multiple websites that describe in detail the guidelines for various types of business. Today on the call with the president and the US governors, the president urged governors to "dominate" the people protesting over George Floyd's asphyxiation by a police officer that was caught on video. So now we have a national health crisis with widespread expression of anger over inequity and injustice that has persisted for centuries and is inexcusable any longer. Police are using force against people. Governor Raimondo urged calm and nonviolent protest.
