The devastating fall and winter wave of coronavirus infections that is causing so much misery across the U.S. appears to have finally peaked, according to several researchers who are closely tracking the virus.
While another surge remains possible, especially with new, more infectious variants on the horizon, the number of new daily infections in the current wave appears to have hit a high in the past week or two and has been steadily declining in most states since, the researchers say.
"Yes, we have peaked in terms of cases," says Ali Mokdad, who has been tracking the pandemic at the University of Washington's Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation. "We are coming down, slowly. This is very good news — very good news."
And while hospitals in some places are still being overwhelmed, the overall number of hospitalized patients also appears to have reached a peak and begun to decline slightly. It's down from a peak of over 132,000 patients on Jan. 6 to 122,700 as of Wednesday.
Declines in daily deaths could soon follow, experts say.
"Based on current trends, the worst appears to be over," says Caitlin Rivers, an epidemiologist at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. "We are headed to a better place."

It’s A Biden Miracle!
Well isn’t that surprising?!
Just in time!
Finally we get a leader that cares!
🤮
And there you go. The deadly coronavirus was deep-state code for Trump. He’s gone... err ... it’s gone!
Weird how this happened the day after Biden was sworn in.
Somebody better break it to Cuomo.
He’s still all doom, despair, and agony...
It’s a miracle!! When should we nominate Joe for Sainthood?
Rush today said that Biden totally bungled COVID and HUNDREDS died on his watch today.
It must be a rare case of Rush being wrong!
it is nothing less than a euphemism, and a message,
and a comm: THAT BEIJING BIDEN RUNS USA,INC.
“When should we nominate Joe for Sainthood?”
Let’s start small, OK? Let’s nominate him for the Nobel Prize in Medicine.
Sainthood can come in a few weeks.
Yea, and half of the US population will believe this. It peaked one day after Biden was inaugurated.
The vast majority of the over 65+ population will be vaccinated within 2 months and almost all nursing home folks (80+) are already vaccinated.
Deaths are going to fall like a rock by April and this whole thing will be over and Biden’s COVID plan will be given miraculous credit when seasonal change and herd immunity will be the cause.
The media is setting up Biden’s hero narrative.....fixing COVID, fixing the economy (trillions of stimulus). We’ll have a sugar high and a few good years and then there will be an epic debt fueled depression unlike anything we’ve seen before in the United States.
Learn the history of Argentina, one of the most prosperous countries in the world in the beginnings of the 20th Century before devaluation after devaluation.
As the church lady would say, “How conveeeenient!”
Do I smell a nobel prize? Or a conspiracy by the scum of the earth? Both.
"causing so much misery"
"another surge remains possible"
"new daily infections"
It is almost like they are pretending they are still at Event 201 pretending that we are in the throws of another pretend Spanish Flu of 1918.
Peaked on January 20th, around Noon EST.
