      It seems you’ve discovered a real correlation here!

      … it’s called “cold season” for a reason, and lots of people will be searching for common ailments at the same time.

        That doesn’t explain the huge spike over the past 6 months, and cold season has been over for about 5 of those months.

          Not cold season alone, for fuck sake. Seasonal allergies, the whole lot. And the big spike you’re seeing is because you failed to zoom and actually look at the last 6 months.

          End of May, beginning of June there were a lot of searches, then it died down. I’m all for conspiracy theories, but at least take the time to apply a tiny bit of logic.
