For example, in one of my social circles someone recently got covid and a few days later went to a birthday *knowing they had it*. Now, would this person also skip that party because they had a bed bug infestation? Probably not.

But. Is this a different set of behavior in regards to bed bugs than say 5 years ago? I suspect so, but zero proof on that lol.

Also, a lot of people being evicted and slumlords probably shittily cleaning flats before finding a new tenant, so 🤷 

Also also, as someone else said, a lot more people are traveling again
