this could be very sensationalist because as far as I know, we have no idea what the absolute numbers are, the trend is measured in percentages:
Numbers represent search interest relative to the highest point on the chart for the given region and time. A value of 100 is the peak popularity for the term. A value of 50 means that the term is half as popular. A score of 0 means there was not enough data for this term.
So it's true that the peak is today, but that could be only a few people. Considering most of October the daily number was "0" (not enough data), I'm guessing the absolute numbers are fairly low. Anyone know how many datapoints google needs to publish data on trends?
It's 11% of what it was in late July if that helps
