Summary
US officials are comparing the ultra-transmissible omicron coronavirus variant to a natural disaster as the country continues to shatter records, logging over 1.4 million new COVID-19 cases Monday and seeing hospitalizations at all-time highs of over 140,000.Officials are now bracing for the weeks ahead, which are expected to bring yet higher numbers of cases that will hamstring health care systems and other essential services nationwide."I think that we're talking about a natural disaster," Janet Woodcock, acting commissioner of the Food Drug Administration, said in a Senate Health Committee hearing Tuesday. The US reported 1,673 deaths Monday, bringing the seven-day average to 1,653 per day, a 36 percent increase in the past two weeks.Some eastern states and areas hit by omicron early in its spread, such as New York and the District of Columbia, may be nearing or seeing peaks in cases.
