A startling 525,000 cases, were reported Wednesday in the United States, but that figure could be an undercount of the true number. This number marks a new record of infections in the country, with Omicron being the culprit of this surge in cases. Experts believe that this figure is low since many are asymptomatic. The average in the US is now estimated in 300,000 per day. Dr James Phillips, chief of disaster medicine at George Washington University said, that it was unlike anything they’ve ever seen before, even at the peak of the prior surges of Covid.
