In the United States, new cases of COVID and hospitalizations have decreased in recent days. Several parts of the country, the Omicron variant appears to be cresting. Within Virginia, the PCR positivity rates have shown sustained decline over the past ten days:
“Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, President Biden’s top pandemic adviser, said on Sunday that while there would be pain in the weeks ahead, especially as Omicron moves through lower-vaccinated areas, the hope was that its continued spread would not disrupt society to the same degree as other variants.”

Scientists believe that new efficient variants will likely emerge in the future and there is no indication at this time that COVID will evolve into less virulent forms.
