  > What lead to this recent spike, in your opinion? The virus is seasonal just like the flu would be my guess.

    OK you must be yanking my chain now, I can't believe you're commenting on this so boldly and are completely unaware of the last huge spike in cases when occurred in July. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/22/world/coronavirus-covid-19.html https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/22/world/coronavirus-covid-1... over & out

      A lot of the summer spikes were in hot places with a lot of air conditioning where people tend to stay inside a lot during the summer. When I have looked at infection maps in the EU and USA, they seem very clearly connected to season. I think there is a process where people adjust their lifestyles to the current risk of infection, but then the goalposts get moved and the infection rate goes up due to environmental factors. Then there is a period of behavior adjustment again until the infection rates level off.
