It’s looking more and more obvious that the worst of the Omicron wave is going to peak for North Americans over the next couple of weeks. In the video shared below, health researcher John Campbell shares projections from the United States made over the weekend. He also shows how case numbers appear to be on their way down now in the United Kingdom which is considered to be about 2 weeks ahead of North America in this latest wave of cases. In both South Africa and the United Kingdom, while the number of cases skyrocketed during the Omicron wave, hospitalizations only increased slightly, and the death rate fortunately plummeted. Some of the highlights from this video are posted below in short notes, along with links to the data shared in this presentation.
