Worldwide Phenomenon

Having lived there I can assure you it is. Most people travel to families for Thanksgiving, many don't for Christmas (obviously a decent proportion don't even celebrate it).

Yeah, I don’t doubt it, I just mean the entire period after and including thanksgiving is ramped up, way more than typical, all the way to Christmas, then will drop like a stone, and that’s without any additional measures.

There will probably be a peak after Super Bowl weekend too!

Absolutely, I can't imagine many people forgoing their SB parties.

Bars in NY have to close at 10 - that's everyone out by 10. Don't think there'll be too many parties here.

No conspiracy talk here.
Looking for reasons.

Have labs lowered the cycle count as the WHO recommended a few weeks back (please note the information regarding this has been deleted from the WHO website).

Has the virus acted like a fire? Is it simply running out of fuel?

The who didn't recommend lowering the cycles, they told labs to follow manufacturers instructions. Cycles ran aren't that important. It's the Ct value that is. The average RNA detection is at a Ct value of around 28.

If the thread is on epidemiology then quite frankly, yes, unless you're asking for answers.

The internet is full of non-experts giving advice and as a result the internet is full of cranks and their 5G anti-vac nonsense.

Don't get me wrong ST, I'm not having a go at you per se, just making a point in general.

I guess you'll start asking for people's coaching badges before they post on a football thread too.
