How to use protection in a sentence?
Who says I am not under the special protection of God?
The current CDC guidance says the general public does not need to be wearing surgical masks, the best protection is to focus on social distancing, hand-washing, not touching their faces and bleaching high touch surfaces.

I saw how miserable people could be without any rule of law, any protection of rights. It scarred me deeply, and since then I've always been on alert that our country can not return to that era, since Xi came to power, however, his language, ideas and actions are all harking back to the Cultural Revolution -- for us who have been through that period, we're very sensitive( to that shift).
When I hear political leaders suggesting that there would be a religious test for which a person who is fleeing from a war-torn country is admitted, when some of those folks themselves come from families who benefited from protection when they were fleeing political persecution, that's shameful, that's not American, that's not who we are. We don't have religious tests (for) our compassion.
