There is news that some ideologically committed Americans are out there, doing their folly. Some Germans also did their own thing in at least Berlin. I have not seen any direct action against lockdown orders in Turkey. Well, any street protests against a government order are hard to perform nowadays. Instead, some Turks, secretly, are into recreating their public spaces in makeshift formats. As far as I could observe police raids regularly some secret gatherings to play cards especially in Esenyurt, an Istanbul district. Yesterday, in Ankara, someone created Ankara’s notorious honky-tonk (pavyon) in warehouse but could not escape from police detection:

US: Hundreds protest against coronavirus stay-at-home orders
Some people in Michigan are angry that their governor has issued a statewide stay at home order. A few North Carolinians are protesting as well. Their solution is to go into the streets with MAGA hats, Confederate flags, and assault weapons and yell about their desire to “lock her up.”
Well this is pretty alarming. Across America anti-lockdown protests are now emerging. Hundreds gather at state Capitols, sometimes with guns, demanding restrictions are lifted.
