One day after registering in Los Angeles County more than 9,500 new cases of COVID – 19 which in itself are many, this Wednesday health authorities reported 16, 510, among the highest numbers of infections in the entire pandemic . The number of new cases is more than double the figure reported on 27 from December.

In January of this year there were days of more than 19,000 new cases of coronavirus in the county, and based on the current upward trend driven by the contagious Omicron variant, it is to be expected that in this close of 2020 and early 2022 similar or perhaps higher figures are reached.

The big difference, obviously, is that now the majority of the population is vaccinated and fatalities or serious illnesses are much less what does 12 months.
