I've been curious if the spikes we've seen since October is the flu season giving people with cold symptoms which get them out of the house to be tested and it caught many more asymptomatic people than usual.

While the vast majority of asymptomatic just stayed out of the system during the spring and summer.

Also, slightly off topic, but the recent spike in Turkey shows how mind-blowingly fast it can shutdown your country, they went from obscurity to 4th place in daily counts after US, India, and Brazil within a month, despite much lower population levels:
