New York City's surge of COVID-19 cases fueled by the omicron variant appears to be falling just as quickly as it rose.

Carlo Allegri/ReutersTens of thousands of infections are still being reported every day, and the test positivity rate is still above 20%. However, after cases increased 26-fold in just one month, they have now fallen by 17% over the last week, an ABC News analysis found.After recording a peak of ​​50,803 COVID-19 cases on Jan. 3, just 9,202 cases were reported on Jan. 14, according to data from the New York City Department of Health & Mental Hygiene.

On Dec. 2, the first case of omicron tied to New York City was reported in a Minnesota resident who had traveled to the Big Apple in November to attend an anime convention.From there, COVID-19 cases began spiking. Within two weeks, the city was reporting an average of nearly 7,600 infections per day, up from 1,600 per day.

Even coronavirus levels in wastewater samples were showing that a surge was coming, according to wastewater analytics company"The scale of the amount of virus that was detected in wastewater was far greater than any point in the pandemic, so much so that [the company] had to rebuild some of the graphs around the scales, because so much more virus was being collected more than any time," said Dr.

Hospitalizations have also declined from an average of 992 new admissions on Jan. 6 to 496 as of Jan. 15, according to the city's health department. "When people get sick enough with COVID, now they are going to come into the hospital, and it does take a delay," Camins said."Sometimes people start having symptoms but they're not sick enough to need the hospital until Day 7 or 10 days later."

But, by early January, when New York City was experiencing its peak, the average number of COVID-19 infections in South Africa had already fallen to about 8,000 per day.

........but it’s on the right trajectory.

Everyone is over it...your attempt at control failed, move on

Everybody who's out and about will be infected by then,' he said. 'This is like infecting everybody out there, so basically, it's running out of people to infect and it's going to start coming down because there's no more people to infect.' Exactly. Everyone gets it.

The test kits .. Now what.. It will be for new variant

Like Trump said.. One day it will disappear

They couldn't get anymore to people to get vaccinated.
