instead of gpt did it, ill lazily say covid did it

Covid doesn't explain the drop from 2012 to 2020 though, as the tests were administered Fall of 2019 and therefore pre-Covid.

The decrease from 2012 to 2020 was much less and generally not statistically significant. Further 2012 was the all time high, you'd expect some regression to the mean.

		> Further 2012 was the all time high It's an all time high because it started declining after that. You'd expect some regression, but you don't expect it to fall back to 1980s levels.
