The other theories are that now we have a lot more testing so whilst it seems there are more cases we're actually underestimating how high it was in the Spring when most of the cases found were hospital admissions. The actual circulation of the virus might have been huge!
Also there might be a weaker strain spreading and/or younger people are getting it at higher rates relative to older people.
