BAD EXAMPLE^^^

Australia and New Zealand are ‘down under.’ It is summer there. This graph shows their normal flu season which is very different than ours:

COVID is a NOVEL Coronavirus and we have no good idea what it’s seasonal variability might be, but most respiratory viruses have one. Comparing our midwinter numbers to their midsummer numbers might very well be just as inappropriate as comparing our flu season to their flu season. They peak at very different times.

Whatever the case, the numbers are dropping.

Anyone who said November 4th was mistaken. The election cycle ended on Jan 20th. Miraculously just after this date the cycle rates on tests were determined to be too high, a case ceased to be just a test but also had to be combined with symptoms, and max lock down governors across the fruited plain suddenly pivoted to saying that we must open up to save the economy. So yea it was political.

I'm with galaxy on this one. It's overdone and not particularly clever.
