Growth in daily hospitalizations is slowing — it was doubling every seven days in early January, and is only doubling every 12.6 days as of Thursday. Ontario’s Omicron rise mirrored New York and London, and there are signs of improvement in those cities. “Maybe, maybe, maybe,” said Dr. Isaac Bogoch, infectious diseases specialist at the University of Toronto and multiple Toronto hospitals. New York City mandates HEPA filters in classes and masking, reopened Jan. 3, and is now considering going virtual after Omicron roared through. Either way, Omicron won’t run forever, and hopefully we can see the start of that.
