Most recent #CDC dataset, updated late Friday, omits Nowcast for the most recent four-week period, "[d]ue to low numbers of sequences being reported to CDC", but does finally acknowledge spread of Cicada BA.3.2.

Stratus-Eleventy XFG.1.1 continued to hold out in March-April reporting, as other Stratus lineages lost ground to three-pronged spread of Cicada, Nimbus NB.1.8.1 / PQ family, and seemingly-resurgent JN.1.11 + FLuQE, lead by the XFZ recombinant.

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

Raj's dashboard, updated end of March, showed XFG.1.1 at a quarter share, for the last half of the most recent reporting period, while Cicada grandkid RE.2 made a significant appearance.

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 Friday, shows two Stratus XFG variants, XFG.1.1 and newcomer XFG.23.1.3 / RV, gaining ground against their dynastic cousins.

Meanwhile, Nimbus 1.8.1 / PQ family also gained share, even as the XFY recombinant was overshadowed by its fellow PQ variants.

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

Raj's dashboard, updated near two weeks ago, showed Stratus-Eleventy XFG.1.1, alone, at a quarter share, for the last half of the most recent reporting period, while Cicada #BA32 grandkid RE.2 made a significant appearance in GISAID data (despite Cicada not yet showing up in CDC estimates.)

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

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 #BA32 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.

Variants chart script has been revised. Bundling logic included a rule that was privileging Stratus XFG lineages.

Most recent #CDC dataset, updated yesterday, shows two Stratus XFG variants gaining ground against their dynastic cousins.

Meanwhile, Nimbus 1.8.1 / PQ family also gains 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.

Raj's dashboard, updated six weeks ago, showed Stratus dynasty diversifying, with Stratus-Eleventy XFG.1.1 as first child, RP, approached sixth share of sequences, while XFG.14 line held below a tenth.

That said, GISAID data for the two weeks and change at the end of the most recent reporting period was dominated by paltry submissions from Nebraska (146 sequences), Wisconsin (140), Minnesota (128), Colorado (122), New York (91) and Illinois (78).

Most recent #CDC dataset, updated yesterday, shows now seven XFG lineages, including recombinant XFY. These reflect strains as broken out by CDC in recent months, together squeezing out patriarch and remaining siblings, cousins & niblings.

Meanwhile, Nimbus 1.8.1 / PQ family, is presently shown as holding out relative to XFG dynasty.
