I don't think it's fair to suggest that the impact of ~500 inmates being released has the same net impact on crimes being committed as the shelter-in-place of ~900K San Franciscans. Regardless, looking directly at Q1 2019 vs Q1 2020, the data shows an increase in violent crime.
More the reason to only look at Q1 data then since that data is independent of COVID as a factor.

Actually we don't, seems like crime began to normalize after May(as I hypothesized earlier).

Also, assuming it's not eradicated, what year would COVID no longer be a factor in crime? Could Boudin celebrate a reduction in crime in 2021? 2022? 2047?

It would be less of a factor once SF is reopened. SF hasn’t reopened at the same levels as other cities have. Even though the SIP mandate lifted in May, SF has been slower to reopen and businesses in SF are still very much closed down. Again, less opportunity = less crime.
