I looks like the cases have peaked and are going down.
People were saying that a week or two ago on MR’s threads. I said it was way too soon to tell and back then I was right it was not a peak then. Yes on the chart it looks like a peak now. We’ll see. In any case these numbers can’t be sustained indefinitely. Ideally this volume of cases + cases already cleared in the past creates a herd immunity.
Deaths are a lagging indicator so we may yet still see high death numbers. Proportionally they may be lower relative to the case count, but still very high numbers.
I have some symptoms. Saturday, a slight fever a touch over 101, chills and aches - but they were gone by Sunday. But Sunday I woke with a horrible sore throat - worst I can remember since being a kid with strep throat. No redness or white spots on my tonsil yet it still hurts a lot. Horrible cough and hoarse voice (neigh!). It’s not constant but when I cough it is productive, and clear so doesn’t look like a bacterial infection. Also digestive issues. From what I read those are all omicron symptoms except I don’t have nasal congestion. I went and got tested but they are taking their sweet time getting me there results. Been staying at home. Would rather be at work.
