The two plots of the proportion of Omicron among new cases of Covid-19 you posted are from Denmark and the region around Washington. They show that in these locations now or in the next few days approximately half of new cases are Omicron. I am from a country that doesn’t really track statistics of Omicron vs Delta. Is it a good idea to assume that the situation here is approximately the same as in these plots? More specifically, how was the decision to include these plots in this post made? Were these plots included specifically because they look scary or are they more like a truly random sample of locations?

They are the only plots I have seen. If anyone has known others I would like to know.

If by “region around Washington” you meant the graph labeled “Capital Region”, I think that refers to the capital of Denmark.
Oh, indeed.
