As Covid cases rise in Europe, experts begin to worry about the U.S. 'Our experience with Delta and Omicron is that what happens with Europe doesn't stay in Europe. It hits us'
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.
