Well, if Omicron were more mild than Delta, it would not be flat (and it’s flat for the holidays, tabulators don’t go to work). Yesterday was a spike.
Yesterday was a small uptick. The day before was a small downtick.
And you make my point with your tabulators comment. When tabulators don't tabulate on the holidays, they must then make up for that by tabulating more the week after the holidays.
