"More than 1 million people in the U.S. were diagnosed with Covid-19 on Monday as a tsunami of omicron swamps every aspect of daily American life.

The highly mutated variant drove U.S. cases to a record, the most -- by a large margin -- that any country has ever reported. Monday's number is almost double the previous record of about 590,000 set just four days ago in the U.S., which itself was a doubling from the prior week."




More than 100,000 people hospitalized with Covid-19 in US for first time in nearly four months:

"More than 103,000 people are currently hospitalized with Covid-19, the first time the total has reached six figures in nearly four months, according to the latest data from the US Department of Health and Human Services.

Covid-19 hospitalizations reached a record high of more than 142,000 about a year ago, on January 14, 2021, and last topped 100,000 on September 11. The total fell to about 45,000 hospitalizations in early November, but increased steadily since then, and surged in the last week. Just last Monday, HHS reported 71,000 Covid-19 hospitalizations."




More children are hospitalized with Covid-19 than ever before. Vaccinations for the youth are paramount for protection, doctors say:

Among celebrities, Jimmy Fallon had it before Christmas and Whoopi Goldberg seems to have gotten it more recently:

Both are vaccinated. They also have had a booster which everyone should get as soon as they are able. Best chance of having mild to no symptoms.
