The fast to rise, fast to fall graph could follow the same pattern seen in other countries hit by the highly-mutated strain, including South Africa, Britain, and France.
The United States appears to be emerging from its latest coronavirus wave driven by the Omicron variant, data showed Wednesday, though cases remain far higher than during any previous surge and Covid hospitalizations are at a peak.
The fast to rise, fast to fall graph could follow the same pattern seen in other countries hit by the highly-mutated strain, including South Africa, Britain, and France.
A seven-day average of new daily cases peaked at around 795,000 on January 13, an official tracker maintained by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) showed.
Though figures over the weekend and public holidays, such as Monday, January 17, are impacted by lower reporting rates and should be treated with caution, numbers were already falling by Friday.
