I think you’re looking at the ‘last six weeks’ charts? The ‘since tracking started in Oct / Nov 2020’ charts show current levels being way, way below last year, or even the July peaks.

Although, to be fair, last October didn’t look bad, and then there was a massive spike…

No I agree with that, I was looking at the 2020 peak to 2021 peak magnitude on the Boston Area plots and the same relative magnitude on the SCC plots and being somewhat surprised at how much of a difference there was between the two locations. As far as I understand we have roughly similar levels of vaccination although santa clara county is probably less dense so I would have guessed we'd have similar magnitude changes in positivity rate.
