* The variant has quickly infected millions of people worldwide at a pace faster than previous strains
* With so many cases, some experts are hopeful the variant will run out of people to infect
* Fauci warns that a new strain that is resistant to natural immunity provided by infection could emerge and keep the pandemic going
* The U.S. is averaging 1,839 Covid deaths per day, a 36% increase over the past two weeks, though deaths still remain much lower than they were at the height of the Delta surge
* A record 155,000 Americans are in the hospital with Covid every day, though many are people arriving for treatment for another condition and testing positive while they are there
* New York Gov Kathy Hochul has called for hospitals in her state to properly differentiate Covid hospitalizations and hospitalizations with Covid
* The U.S. daily Covid case average eclipsed 800,000 for the first time ever over the weekend, but experts warn daily case figures are misleading during the Omicron surge
