total. And this time around, who knows how many of Thanksgiving Thursday and Friday are in there.

Generally, on Monday they just report Friday's numbers. But its all screwed up this time with Thanksgiving and the Friday after. Anyway, Monday Nov 29 compared to Monday Nov 22 was actually a small decrease. If it was loaded with Thanksgiving+Friday backlog, it's sure not showing.

Unless there are still a large number of backlogged cases, I think we've peaked for awhile on the 7 day average of 4,484 on Nov 16.

I'm not predicting that's the peak for the whole winter though. Last year, though, I note that the 7 day average reached its all-time peak on November 20.
