Great news, everyone! The surge in U.S. COVID-19 cases caused by the omicron variant has peaked and is rapidly sliding back down to pre-omicron levels.
A chart posted by Our World in Data shows quite clearly that omicron is in the rearview mirror. U.S. new daily COVID cases peaked mid-January at just over 803,000 and have been sliding rapidly back down to background-noise status.
More good news: even though the Jan. 2022 peak of new daily cases is over triple the number from Jan. 2021 (which peaked at almost 252,000), hospitalizations are occurring at a rate of about 15% less than a year ago. And omicron’s daily death rate peaked at 7.64 per million people, as opposed to 10.22 per million just a year ago when the delta variant was dominant. This data manifestly confirms that, even though omicron spreads faster than chlamydia at a CNN company picnic, it’s by far the least virulent strain of the coronavirus we’ve seen yet.
One would think that such good news would be shouted from the rooftops by our establishment media and politicians! But that won’t be the case. Instead, watch for the lamestream to continue hyping new cases and extreme outcomes as the Left keeps pushing their mandates and mask-ups. COVID public health policies have morphed into such an incredibly effective way to monitor and hurt those who don’t follow ze orders that we will have to pry these tools from Big Left’s cold, voted-out hands. So plan on the mandates and COVID burkas to stay in place until they’re slapped down by judges and/or voters.
It’s long been evident that the current administration hasn’t been particularly interested in handling the COVID “crisis” in any meaningful way beyond mandating the virus-diminishing shots

Just got ours in the mail today.
Yes, S. Korea was listed as source of manufacture.
[I just threw the “Joe Biden is my homeboy” refrigerator magnet in the trash.]
Didn’t get ours either. I ordered because hubs needs to test negative before he gets treatments and there are no tests available.
Nothing in the mail.
Got mine but I’ll never use that Chinese POS.
“Fully three weeks after the 2022 COVID wave has peaked and 19 days after placing my order, I have yet to receive my “free” test kits from the Biden administration.”
We got ours weeks ago.
Gosh.....who told us this would happen, MONTHS ago?
That Omicron would pass quickly and these tests are a joke.
Oh, yeah.....the villified, by $hot $hills, REAL and honest docs, like Dr Peter McCullough, that’s who.
That’s okay. It was never meant for you anyway. The moneys is being siphoned.
Democrat governance - for the people - you understand.
South Korea.
Not Chinese but of course that blubbering idiot Biden can’t possibly use an American manufacturer
Waiting at least 2 weeks for the mail to bring mine.
Post office is slow.
Yes. It’s nonsense.
A waste of money, butt Biden got his 10% I’m sure.
It has a bar code and app. Obviously they want people to report that way so that positives will increase.
Four. Two kits of two. iHealth.
We haven’t gotten ours either. Ordered Jan 18th; they haven’t yet sent tracking #.
I ordered some using the dog’s name so I’ll know if the list gets sold to marketers or used for nefarious government purposes.
The masks might never arrive. What are we going to do, demand a refund of a Chinese freebie?
Finally got ours today
You must be a registered republican, they don’t ship to those.
I know a repub in a demoncrat stronghold also in your boat - no sign of tests. Commie neighbors have them though.
“I saw a headline last week that thrilled my heart;
Headline for Week of February 2, 2022
“THE PANDEMIC IS OVER””
HANG ON TO IT!
And then compare the editor in that edition to the new editor 2 weeks from now. The first editor’s career is over...he crossed a big-time red line.
lol!
