7. calling it a spike is really a misnomer

the falling case rate had been slowing, then cases bottomed out in mid june, then slowly began rising in an accelerating way. The curve looks like the bottom of a bowl. The time from the slowing of the falling case rate - to the bottom of the bowl - to now rising cases is something like 4 months.

We have had 4 months to do something about getting the message out, but, hey lets wait till cases are really rising again before even noticing, then lets call it a spike.
