Most recent #CDC dataset, updated yesterday, shows five XFG lineages, reflecting variants broken out by CDC in recent months, together squeezing out patriarch and remaining siblings, cousins & niblings.
Meanwhile, Nimbus 1.8.1 / PQ family, previously shown as in decline relative to XFG dynasty, is now shown as rapidly gaining share.
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 two week ago, showed Stratus dynasty diversifying, with Stratus-Eleventy XFG.1.1 as first child, RP, approached sixth share of sequences, while XFG.14 line holds 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).
