COVID news 2/11/23

Hi all, XBB.1.5 is now dominant in almost all of the United States except for the Pacific Northwest. Overall, XBB.1.5 represents 75% of all COVID cases in the US now. So far, there are no new variants pushing out XBB.1.5 which is good news. Reported US cases are decreasing as are hospitalizations, but there are still about 450 people dying of COVID each day in the United States.
