It’s obvious why the spike around thanksgiving/holidays but why the spike in June, 3 years in a row?

Any day now they might come around to twice annual boosters for any who wants them (or at least for over 50's where the seriousness curve starts its upward bend) but alas too late for me as I've got my second round of actual Covid-19. Thanks US Public Health infrastructure!

That's interesting. I do wonder what would make it different from flu/colds in this regard. Maybe it needs more time to get there., or maybe its in part an artifact of more testing for Covid (e.g., most of the time when you are sick, you have no idea what virus you actually have).
