I don't want to jinx it, but Malta and most of England might have peaked, NYC too. We'll see how that goes in the face of waning third doses and potentially less voluntary distancing in the coming weeks, but that would not be unexpected since most Subsaharan African countries already have peaked as well.

That might seem really fast but this kind of pace is more or less the average for waves in past pandemics. It is the original SARS-CoV-2 that was too slow.
