By the numbers: The U.S. is now averaging just under 1,900 deaths per day — a 42% increase over the past two weeks.

The Omicron wave is already receding in the places where it first took hold: New cases are slowing down significantly in and around Boston, New York and Washington, D.C.

But it hasn’t yet run its course in the rest of the country. While cases are declining on the East Coast, they’ve continued to climb just about everywhere else.

Nationwide, the U.S. is averaging almost 760,000 new cases per day — up 30% over the past two weeks.
