Look at this map and the correlation between this time last year and this time this year.
The seasonality thing appears to be very, very important to understand this virus' behavior. That is so boring when you think COVID only spreads because you and I are selfish jackasses, but when the states with highest Delta prevalence (Wyoming and South Dakota) still have basically zero case growth something is going on other than the official "Delta plus unvaccinated is the only reason this is happening again!"
