Yep, if you look at Australia on a linear scale, the previous outbreaks are already 'invisible'

It's going to be scary to see how far India is going to go up. Russia is just starting to feel Omicron as well. Japan, after a long time of having seem to have defeated Covid-19 is also going straight up again. Their 7 day average was under hundred cases a day, yesterday they added 5,983 new cases.
New Zealand might be next. They contained the Delta wave at just under 200 cases a day yet can New Zealand hold Omicron back as well.
Previous highest number of cases in a single day was 904,626 on April 29 2021 with 5.8 million cases that week.
2 days ago had 2,740,389 cases in a single day and over 15 million cases last week.
Difference is 7,569 deaths in a day now vs a peak of 15,301 deaths in a day on April 28th.
The vaccines are definitely helping a lot, yet it will be 3 weeks before the full impact of today's case numbers is known and how far is it still going up further.
