The Omicron variant was already spreading in the US before it even had a name; public health officials have confirmed multiple cases contracted in November. At least two of them may be associated with a big convention called Anime NYC, attended by 53,000 people November 19-21. This isn't confirmed, but New York is trying to call or email everyone who attended, urging them to get tested.
The urge to resume pre-pandemic life is overwhelming, but it looks like the virus is not through with us yet.
