Cumulative graphs don't have peaks, ever. A 'new cases per week' graph is more appropriate to talk about peaks or lack thereof.
You do realize you are taking about a graph that is not cumulative, right? It's a graph of active cases. At some point it will peak, and eventually go to zero.

Of course, you can also talk of "pandemic peak" when looking at the cumulative graph of total cases, too. That's just common sense. It means "when the graph starts to plateau". Obviously

This one is labeled "Total Cases". But I see your more recent one is active cases.https://twitter.com/fchollet/status/1249048563008462853 …

Ultimately, it doesn't matter which graph you use, since they're telling exactly the same story about exactly the same data. But I understand it's difficult to resist the urge to be pedantic on social media
