It cycles seasonally, but it's for social reasons. It cycles in the winter because of holiday traveling spreading local outbreaks, and back-to-school season when all the kids go back to be concentrated in 1 place.

Back to school is also why there's a back to school bump.

Winter also has people more concentrated 8ndoors in colder climates, and summer does the same in hot areas. Texas had a HUGE outbreak a month ago because everyone was huddled indoors to get out of the heat while the kids were bringing it home from school.

My doctor said it's like an every 2 month flu virus. Or like it just comes by waves (when the virus have changed enough to get at us again).

Also same here, who thought it was a "winter" virus??

Trump, as always, and his rather infamous "it'll go away by April" claim.

We could've actually had an article and thread without that name but you had to bring him into it.
