IHME | New COVID-19 Projections (April 7, 2022)

Key takeaways:
🆕 Prediction for China: no major Omicron surge. Ongoing zero-Covid strategy of targeted lockdowns is working to avoid a large spike in infections.

📉 BA.2 is declining in Europe, and not expected to cause a major surge in the US. Other countries around the world may also avoid a surge due to previous high levels of infection from Omicron.

💊 Access to antivirals should be the primary focus of global efforts, shifting from previous emphasis on vaccination.
