Yes, we can see that something is different in the last months of 2021. So either Omicron, as we now that it affects younger people as well. Or another cause... Either way, it is close to the 2018 high. It would be bold to qualify that as a pandemic!

I don't know, _all_ points where the graph crosses the "Substantial increase" line were 2020+ or later.
