It's been a bit over a month since the BLM protests started taking place
Out of curiosity, I wanted to see how the states with the largest protests (Seattle, Minneapolis, NYC) but also otherwise relatively still closed, compared to some states that opened bars and restaurants around the same time (Florida, Arizona, Texas)
Chart starts around mid-May, before George Floyd was murdered
The differences: One is a HUGE gathering of people, but outdoors, and almost all wearing masks. The other is smaller groups of people, but indoors, and not wearing masks
Also you know there were protests in Vancouver (no new local cases) Hong Kong (no new local cases) and around the world
Wear a damn mask!
