That was not the bet, we’re talking about the national number. I might still lose, it looks like there has been a statistically significant bump in the past week, and it may continue. Some of it must be due to spread in the southern states, where (by no coincidence) people spend more time indoors during the summer. Some of it may also be due to the “July effect” which I did not know about: https://acphospitalist.org/archives/2011/04/coverstory.htm https://acphospitalist.org/archives/2011/04/coverstory.htm https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/July_effect https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/July_effect
