Testing reporting was wildly inconsistent.
That being said, the current Rice a Rona, Omicron is by and large a nasty cold, but almost at chicken pox for contagiousness. Thus it truly is a not if but when scenario right now. Shots and prior COVID strain immunity, as well as masking and distancing are ineffective. Peak should be late January and peak hospitalization by Valentines Day here in the states. Europe is ahead of us and may be peaking now. Omicron is a 5 day +/- in nature verses 14+ for Delta.
