Seems to be following the same trend we saw in SA and UK. Incredibly quick rise, very short peak, and began falling rapidly.

Boston:

New data suggest omicron cases may have peaked in the Boston area. In December, the level of COVID found in the metro area's sewage rose extremely rapidly. Now, those numbers show a sharp decline.


"When I refreshed the website and saw it, I literally punched the air and let out a hoot because it was something I've been hoping for," said Bill Hanage, a professor of epidemiology and co-director of the Center for Communicable Disease Dynamics at Harvard's T.H. Chan School of Public Health. "It's unambiguously good news."

The size of the decline, as well as the fact that it was consistent across both the northern and southern catchment areas, makes Hanage confident that the spike is over.

Nationally





Texas



If you look at this chart in particular. Although hospitalizations aren't dropping yet but their rate of increase has slowed substantially which is a great indicator TX could be peaking now (or may have already have peaked)

This is great news and consistent with South Africa data.

I wonder how much the drop off would actually be if you excluded all tests for people that previously tested positive and are now just trying to achieve a negative test again to go back to work.

The top chart is waste water monitoring so no retesting interference.

Great news indeed!

Hopefully TX is just a week or 2 behind the northeast and will start dropping just as rapidly.

Really thought Delta would be the last wave of COVID. Sure hope Omicron will be.

It's the last wave for people that want to be free, yes it's the last one.

Looks like a crypto chart. Should've sold the top.

I get 1-3 colds per year. Covid will just be another cold.

The Cold and the flu will never go away, you just deal with it.

It's the last wave until the next wave. Live your life. Every day is a gift and nothing is ever promised. Don't waste them.
