I don’t see how this is responsive to my point, which is that the article is talking about a surge in the rates of enrollment at the end of October, and not principally about overall enrollment numbers (except insofar as the surge in rates suggests that the initial lag might be overcome).
I agree that the L.A. Times article quoted by Kos doesn’t quantify or reference the particular standard against which those expectations are set, but the one you’re offering is unhelpful because it is not about enrollment rates.
I suppose we could use your data to extrapolate averaqe enrollment rates and compare them to the enrollment rates of the weeks-long period discussed in the article. Have you done that?
