Covid spiked in Europe during bad WINTER weather? Cite please. It's pretty well-established that Covid and precipitation are negatively related.
And yes, we all know Covid transmits better in colder temps. But Covid only "likes" people gathering indoors when it happens in large groups.
Essentially, bad winter weather has done a much better job of enforcing quarantine rules then the states ever could have.
Also, the number of tests administered was down about 9% last week, and also down almost 20% overall since their high in mid-January So....yea, that.
Also, cases were always going to decline once the holidays ended. Once spring comes, people will start acting like idiots again.

Also, I just checked and hospitalizations are going down.
Great news, no doubt. I'd like to think we've turned the corner. But I seriously doubt the current trend will continue at anywhere near this current rate of decline. I'll bet a one-month ban there is ZERO chance they can resume a normal WSOP schedule by the end of May.
