Agreed. I'm not looking at specific dates, rather the overall case curves.

ND and SD peaked at around 1400 per 100k in November of 2020. I believe we are already past our peak this year, which is about 620 cases per 100k here in ND in early October.

Meanwhile, NH peaked at 810 cases per 100k in December of 2020 and they have already reached a peak of 2062 cases per 100k as of yesterday. Their case curve appears to still be on the rise, which would correspond with last year's seasonal curve.
