      As some of the other commenters say, one of covid’s trademark symptoms is loss of smell and the comment curves coincide with the outbreaks.

      I believe it’s suggesting the negative reviews are all people with COVID, with the spikes in negative reviews being spikes in COVID cases, based on the dates.

      Covid causes loss of smell. Spikes in bad reviews of Yankee candles correspond with covid spikes. Not because of anything wrong with the candles. Because of something wrong with people’s schnozzes. Specifically loss of smell due to covid.
