How can that be? This article says that as on December 14, just 3% of all US cases was Omicron.

The prior weekly estimate was revised up from 3% to 13%.
The weekly progression was 0.4% > 13% > 73%.
It’s much more infectious than the other strains.

On Monday, the CDC revised its estimate for omicron cases for the week that ended Dec. 11, after analyzing more samples. About 13% of the cases that week were from omicron, not the 3% previously reported. The week before, omicron accounted for just 0.4% of cases.

Huh. I’d heard about that revision, but I thought it was just with NYC data, not over the whole country.
