7-Day average has increased by over 30% over the last two leek. Big increases locally, too.
Oh, and hospitalizations are up.
Proportionally, though.
Yeah, but it's a little early for the hospitalizations to start increasing. Typically that is 4-6 weeks after the number of cases increase.
Not at all. Ask Jolly: people are going from "hey I feel funny" to dead within a week now due to the variants. Sometimes in 2-3 days.
The nice thing is, many if not most recoveries are also not taking 30-40 days like they used to.

Not in Maryland.

543,415 in one day. Granted, this was delayed Christmas weekend reporting, but wow.

Post Xmas around here, there is also an enormous demand for tests. Our local high school has a weekly testing clinic that ran out of tests this past Sunday.
Driving past an urgent care this morning, there was a line outside of 50+ people waiting for tests.

So what? What difference is a positive or a negative test going to make, other than monoclonal antibody therapy, which supposedly doesn't work well against Omicron?

In a few weeks a negative test will allow me to get on a cruise ship.

One version works, Sotrovimab, but it’s in short supply and mostly being reserved for the immunosppressed.
Only non-witches get due process.

It’s a little more complicated due to the Delta wave we were beginning before Omicron, but if the South Africa model holds true, we should see a sharp decline starting soon. Like this week…

Though the Delta wave and the geographical realities will mitigate some of that drop, as DC and NY drop, we’ll likely see increases in other areas.

Talked to wife's rheumatologist. He's decided not to use it for his immunosuppressed patients.
