States experiencing cases double over past two weeks SHRINKS to eight

The U.S. is seeing even more signs that the Omicron-fueled Covid surge is starting to recede. Cases are now down over the past two weeks in 17 states. While cases were doubling in almost every state only two weeks ago, the number of states that have seen daily infections double over the past 14 days is now all the way down to eight.

cresting and falling in January was expected by many experts after reviewing trends from the UK, , and other country that were struck by the variant before it caused its first surges in the U.S.

States that were hit early by the variant are now showing sharp drops in cases as the variant begins to burnout stateside as well. New York, for example, was the first state to deal with Omicron in a large capacity when emerged as a hotspot for the variant in December.
