Summary
The IHME model estimates that COVID-19 deaths will peak at around 2,100 per day on January 28.Omicron's rise and fall could be even more dramatic on the local level, Dowdy said — though many cities and states haven't seen the worst of their outbreaks yet."What we're seeing on a national level is a smoothing over of all of these local effects," Dowdy said, adding: "The West Coast is just taking off. You're going to see these cases continue to rise because there are more places where it's taking off than where it's peaking."A highly transmissible virus tends to tear quickly through a population until it runs out of people to infect, and Omicron may be close to reaching that point.
