I think this is definitely a factor in households with small children -- a lot of kids going into daycare, preschool, and kindergarten this last fall have had so little exposure to other people.
So you have environments that are already known to be a massive vectors for communicable disease, and a bunch of little people who've never been exposed to common illnesses. Combine that with parents who may have also been heavily isolated for the last few years?
