The streets are full of police, empy of activists

It's 11 a.m. I drove around the city center to see what was going on. Droves of police line the streets in front of the Lawyer, Journalist and Workers Syndicates not to mention Tharir, where they are already standing ready in their riot gear, shields and batons ready to go. There are also lots of people in the streets - but they're going to work, going on with their daily business, not demonstrating, protesting or staying home out of solidarity. Now granted, it's only 11 a.m. the day is still young. Let's see how this thing shapes up...

UPDATE - noon: There seem to be far fewer cares on the streets of Zamalek...
