There are two nearly identical peaks on this chart. The trough between them is Covid.

I’m not seeing anything I can call a Covid spike

The lowest point of the first trough is when COVID starts. It then rapidly increases and stays high for two years.

  • It looks like that rapid increase was a return to pre-covid normal. It never spikes above pre-covid. Given the world was returning to normal, this is precisely what you'd expect most trends to look like, something like in-restaurant dining probably looks similar.
