The CDC has reported more than 1.44 million worldwide infections Omicron, worldwide. This has smashed the previous records.
The most transmissible and highly changed version yet, omicron is quickly becoming the world’s dominant strain because it resists immunity that vaccines and prior infections normally provide. Monday’s seven-day rolling average of cases was roughly 841,000, up 49% from a month ago when omicron was first identified in southern Africa.
