It really does look like NYC may be reaching its Omicron peak. projects.thecity.nyc/2020_03_covid-…

Test positivity rates have levelled off in NYC, and may be starting to fall.

Daily cases are still rising, but the rate of increase started to slow nearly a week ago, and that line seems to still be trending in the right direction.

Only the faintest hint of a similar curve in the statewide numbers, though.

And of course national numbers for the US are likely to continue getting uglier for quite a while.

Sorry—forgot to adjust the horizontal scale on the New York State results. They look quite a bit more promising measured forward from October 1.
