The same attributes that helped the Omicron variant of Covid-19 drive a historic rise in cases and then hospitalizations earlier this month in Los Angeles now seem to be precipitating a nearly-as-rapid decline in those same numbers.On January 9, Los Angeles County hit an all-time peak daily new case record at over 43,000.
That was up 100% in just four days thanks to an average 7-day test positivity rate of 20.4%, which was just about the highest it’s ever been in the region.
Put another way, one in five Angelenos was testing positive. L.A. Public Health officials reported 18,822 new cases today. That’s a 56% drop in a little over two weeks.
While it’s not quite as meteoric as the 100% rise in cases in the run up to 43,000, it’s still a remarkable drop, given the presence of a variant that’s considered 2-4 times more transmissible by the California Public Health Department.
