What Is Omicron's Current U.S. Impact?

The U.S. has seen more than 800,000 COVID-related deaths, and the new variant is threatening to bring back travel restrictions ahead of the holidays.

The holiday season also means holiday travel, and that means navigating COVID protocols in airports, hotels, or even just to be around family. Currently, more than 1,000 people are dying of COVID each day.

The U.S. reached a pretty bleak milestone this week: There have been more than 800,000 COVID-related deaths since the pandemic began.  

As we get through the colder months, health experts are worried about another winter surge.
