COVID makes it spike up (after a months long downward trend long before the cameras), not down. Nation-wide, incidentally.

The cameras were added where the black rectangle is here: https://imgur.com/a/i00Gna0

There are two nearly identical peaks on this chart. The trough between them is Covid.

I’m not seeing anything I can call a Covid spike

  • The lowest point of the first trough is when COVID starts. It then rapidly increases and stays high for two years.

    • It looks like that rapid increase was a return to pre-covid normal. It never spikes above pre-covid. Given the world was returning to normal, this is precisely what you'd expect most trends to look like, something like in-restaurant dining probably looks similar.
