The Delta and Omicron variants have tended to strike Europe before reaching America. Here is what the data show on whether that is likely to happen again.
The recent rise in Covid-19 cases in the U.K. has U.S. health experts watching closely, as the Delta and Omicron variant trends in Europe have tended to presage those in the U.S.
The rapid spread of the highly transmissible BA.2 Omicron variant and an easing of measures aimed at slowing transmission, such as mask requirements, are causing problems in Europe, according to epidemiologists and physicians. The U.S. has also broadly dropped mitigation measures, and federal authorities estimate BA.2 represents about 35% of U.S. cases. Those factors are raising concern that the U.S. could experience another Covid-19 surge.
