Below is today's AR-US-World plot of C19 deaths (left) and cases (right). Note US and world case data for today are crazy high. In fact, US is over 1M daily cases, representing 40% of cases reported worldwide. The AR 7-day average cases is the highest ever and steeply increasing. Meanwhile deaths for all regions are trending steady or down. Are we seeing the omicron effect -- more infectious and less deadly?
As the song says, 'Something's happenin' here, what it is ain't exactly clear."
