Omicron was circulating in the US as early as November 21 according to sewage samples. That is 6 days before South Africa reported an outbreak from a new highly mutated variant which ended up being named omicron. Omicron was all over the world by the time we even heard of the first outbreak.

If you're in a major metro, delta is likely not still out there anymore. It may still be circulating in more rural areas.
