It goes up for 3-5 days and then it goes significantly lower for 1-2 days. Does this mean reporting is different on weekends? Illness doesn't get a weekend.
For narratives to work, they need patterns.

The weekend effect has not gone unnoticed, as in the linked article.
If you were sick and your first/only option were to go to a hospital, would you choose Friday night? Saturday? Sunday? Or might you try to hold off until Monday? With Covid there's some element of choice for many people who admit themselves.

Yes. That's why a 5 day rolling total is more important.
