New York and other northeastern states see a dramatic decrease in Covid-19 cases. This leads people to believe that the Omicron spike has already peaked in some parts of america. “The Covid forecast is improving … the Covid clouds are parting,” said New York’s governor Kathy Hochul. 400,000 tests were taken in New York, with a positivity rate of 12.9%, which is a 20% decrease from the previous week. With this variants spread starting in the northeastern states, is this the cause of the spike decreasing faster? Or are the northeastern states taking better precautions?
