I would use Autumn here for clarity for sure

  Since they looked primarily at the month of October - I'd just say October.

    I guess the point is that Fall doesn't mean Autumn in some places, and the way this is phrased it seems to imply something about the rate of infection, that is, they are falling or something but that isn't what this is about at all.

      Agreed. And capitalizing the word 'Fall' (in an attempt to clarify) is problematic too - it's not usually a proper noun.

    There is another report that suggested mobile data indicated the Wuhan lab “was closed from Oct. 7 through Oct. 24, 2019, and that there may have been a "hazardous event" sometime between Oct. 6 and Oct. 11.” [0] As far as I know, no federal agency has been willing to vouch for this conclusion. I recognize there is skepticism about it coming from the lab, though I thought this is related enough due to how the indicating data was collected to share.

  If you want to be clear, use the name of a month or a quarter number. Seasons are opposite in the Southern Hemisphere, and it is always confusing to read American or European information that references a season (I am in New Zealand). Please Don’t marginalise those of us that are down under (we are already marginalised by physics causing long ping times to servers in the Northern Hemisphere, which is harder to change).
