Well, we're going through this holiday spike.

That's what this is.

You've seen the number shoot up.

You're wondering, what's going on?

This is from Thanksgiving.

And I think I told you that before Thanksgiving,

that you're going to have millions of people every day traveling.

You're going to have millions of college kids day traveling you're going to have millions of college

kids coming home many of them asymptomatic but could have it and spreading it all over america

that's why when you see this spike it's everywhere not just cities it's everywhere not just

the northeast it's everywhere you take a look at new york state there's a bigger spike upstate than

in the city the positivity rate higher upstate than in new york city uh but that's all that travel

that's all that thanksgiving day travel now that'll calm down a bit but remember you got de honica

starts uh thursday and then you got Christmas coming up.

That's why a lot of people are saying after Christmas.

And Christmas is a big, it's bigger than Thanksgiving, obviously,

because many people take a whole week off, two weeks off.

And that's where more traveling occurs Christmas week than any other time during the year.

So everybody's back January 2nd.

It's five days normal incubation, up to 14 maximum.

So second, third week of January, they're expecting a huge spike.
