Right you were! A number of the cities/states that seem to have seen omicron first (that is, noticeable jump in cases to record highs) are now past the peak--DC, MD, NY, NJ, FL, ... The US overall either peaked this past week or will peak next week. I agree with PP that I'm hearing about more people getting covid--presumably omicron--and it's unpleasant but not life-threatening. Here's hoping that as omicron recedes (which will take another month) we start seeing more normal life patterns return and solidify. |

| 371 cases in MoCo today. It's probably due to reporting and the holiday BUT it's not 4 digits and something to be hopeful about! |

Thought we needed to bring this thread back. Here is something I noticed on the VDH covid site today.
In FFX county, we are well past the omicron peak and our current case numbers are at what they were way back at the previous peak in Jan 2021. And in spite of the huge number of omicron cases, our hospitalizations have NEVER been lower than they are right now. I think we are at the beginning of the end...emic. |

| Great to see this thread pop up. Numbers in MoCo have just been plummeting - crossing fingers this holds and we finally can start putting the crisis stage of this in the rear view mirror. |

A monoclonal antibody treatment that works against both current versions of Omicron has been given an EUA by the FDA.
Bebtelovimab is made by Eli Lilly and the U.S. has already purchased 600,000 doses, with it starting to be shipped to the states. https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/fda-authorizes-new-covid-antibody-drug-fight-omicron-variant-rcna15973 |
