@cremevax the #MAHA effect is chipping away at our #vaccines in multiple ways. "FDA's stricter trial requirements and low U.S. vaccine uptake hinder study progress. Pfizer and BioNTech cite slow enrollment, not safety concerns, for stopping trial. Moderna's study faces similar struggles, sources say"

Raj's dashboard, updated Tuesday, shows Stratus-Eleventy XFG.1.1, alone, at a quarter share, for the last half of the most recent reporting period, while Cicada grandkid RE.2 makes an appearance in GISAID data.

That said, said GISAID data was dominated by paltry submissions from New York (171), Minnesota (85), Maryland (84), Nebraska (53), and Arizona (17).

Most recent #CDC dataset, updated over two weeks ago, showed two Stratus XFG variants gaining ground against their dynastic cousins.

Meanwhile, Nimbus 1.8.1 / PQ family also gained share, lead by the XFY recombinant with XFG.5.1.

Note that, in absence of robust data from states, CDC has given up modeling historical estimates, instead giving only shares of reported sequences.

#RSV cases and emergency department visits in #NYC are dropping again as of March 28, #flu is rising slightly and #COVID is staying low. 11 deaths from #COVID19 in March.

#COVIDIsNotOver and some people I know have gotten sick recently, so I still #WearAMask in elevators, trains, buses, pharmacies and supermarkets. I'm also excited for #OutdoorDining in the warmer weather!

Shouting out this important paragraph from this week's #ThreatModelCovid by @violetblue :

"You can count on one hand the outlets taking Covid coverage seriously, or not pretending like it's 'just the flu,' or just a thing that happened to someone else, once. This is one of the few resources for honest news and information about a new virus that's still reshaping our world, our healthcare systems, our families, and our futures."

@joeinwynnewood the time to mask is always. Don't stop just because it's not a known spike. Why did anyone stop?
It's so easy, and indeed useful, to wear a mask on public transport, in shops etc.

Just do that.
