The latest resurgence of the Omicron Tsunami continues to gather strength, and while the US remains in the forefront as usual, a number of other nations are now nipping on our heels — at least in terms of new cases.

Most disturbing so far is Japan, which has seen its weekly caseload explode from barely 100,000 to over 650,000 in the space of just 3 weeks. And though South Korea is also witnessing a similar meteoric rise in new cases, it’s still only about half the size of Japan’s, which has also become the first nation to exceed their early Omicron peak (aside from North Korea, China, and Taiwan that all missed out on the earlier phase of Omicron).

Note: Canada revised their cumulative death toll higher by about 1000 this week, though I’ve tried to ensure this didn’t affect the weekly stats for either Canada or the world.
