No, the article is talking about 2022 and 2023 statistics, where there is in fact a drop. The link posted in this comment only shows data up to 2021.
Actually I don’t know why they didn’t just post the actual source used by the article itself which shows more recent data. Either way, the basic point stands that this “huge drop” is basically a reversion after a large increase in 2020-2021. Things are going “back to normal,” so it’s kind of stupid to pretend this is something we should all be looking at.
