Looks like it is burning itself out just as everyone knew it woul;d.
The number of new US cases of COVID-19 has dropped for the second day running after hitting record highs on Monday, as experts say the Omicron surge may be nearing a peak in New York but will continue to rise in the rest of the country.
The US recorded 643,660 new cases on Wednesday, down from the pandemic record of more than 1 million on Monday. The seven-day rolling average of 587,098 new cases remained up 95 percent from a week ago, according to a DailyMail.com analysis of data from Johns Hopkins University.
Deaths remained low, with 1,986 new deaths recorded Wednesday, a 15 percent decline from week-ago levels on a rolling average basis. On a seven-day rolling average, the US has recorded 1,318 deaths. Hospitalizations are increasing, but remain well below their peak levels a year ago. About 85,000 Covid patients are currently hospitalized in America's hospitals, compared to a peak of 124,000 during last winter's surge, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
