So weeks later - how are Covid-19 cases doing in Minneapolis, Washington DC, New York and Chicago?

We all know the thousands of people who took to the streets in Minneapolis, Washington DC, New York and Chicago.  There was no hint of social distancing by those mobs, thousands even tens of thousands of people packed into streets to protest.

And of course the "experts" warned us that there was certain to be a spike because of this.

Now weeks later, has there been a spike?  Let's do something "scientific" and look at the data HealthWeather.us.

Minneapolis (Hennepin County, MN)

Chicago (Cook County, IL)
https://healthweather.us/?regionId=17031&mode=Observed

New York (Bronx)
https://healthweather.us/?regionId=36005&mode=Observed

Washington DC (District of Columbia)
https://healthweather.us/?regionId=11001&mode=Observed

So in no cases areas where there was rioting are cases increasing!  Most are "steady" or declining. Almost three weeks later THERE IS NO SPIKE in cases where there was mass rioting and protesting in the streets.

Finally, here is the US Trend Map:
