This article has good charts too.

Coronavirus cases in Europe are rising again as the BA.2 subvariant of Omicron spreads.
COVID-19 waves in Europe typically precede the US by a couple of weeks.
Experts say the US could even get it worse, as booster uptake in the US has been low.

The US could get a worse wave
Some experts warn that the US could get a worse BA.2 wave than Europe, with unboosted vulnerable and older people at more risk than those in Europe.

The uptake of booster vaccines has been poorer in the US: As of March 13, only one in three in the US population had received a third shot, compared to about 60% in the UK, Germany, and Denmark.

Wastewater surveillance suggests there may be more COVID-19 cases than are being reported. Some sites in the US reported over a 1,000% increase in the levels of genetic material from the coronavirus detected in sewage compared with 15 days earlier, as shown below.
