Saying that COVID is continuing to give Switch a boost is non-sensical. U.S is not in lockdown anymore, it's just that Switch has so much momentum going on at the moment.
If COVID was still playing such a huge role then why didnt Switch smash Holiday records? I see Shadow likes to use March-Oct gains to contribute to COVID only but then conveniently leaves out the holiday period...

Here is a fun fact. 1st Stimulus payments came between March and October (many delays) . 2nd stimulus payments came after December. 3rd stimulus payments are coming in now. The only large gap in stimulus payments is during the holiday period.
