The court stayed its own decision and allowed it to be stayed past the date if Trump appeals, which he is. So the net effect: Trump WILL be on the ballot.
Pretty much. Nothing else would really explain 100's% (or more) increases across the board. There's only one major thing different, and that is a large percentage of the population got the vaccines. What's more, is many doctors that were being silenced early on were predicting these EXACT SYMPTOMS and diseases in people before they even manifested. So if you have a better idea of something more strongly correlated, feel free to suggest what that may be.
