likely peaking. now, the caveat here is that despite what you see on screen right now, there are major variations across the country. why is that? >> well, we've seen that throughout the pandemic. omicron doesn't uniformly attack every part of the country at the same time. so we see it flare in one place and then calm in another. that's what we saw with omicron when it came to the united states just less than two months ago. first, the east coast, new york, boston, down to d.c. and that whole area. it hit the west coast 10, 14 days, a little bit later. and so we've seen now the west coast getting hit, but now the west coast has peaked and it looks like at least here in the barrier and much of california are now starting a downslope.
