#Covid #XFG #NB1.8.1.

Wastewater sequencing data until July 11/12, prevalence data until August 3.

XFG* (beige) strongly dominant, NB.1.8.1* (light green) less competitive.

In sum, the concomitant rise of the two variants did not do much in terms of prevalences.

#Covid #XFG #NB1.8.1.

Wastewater seq data until June 28, prevalence data until July 13.

XFG* (beige) dominant, NB.1.8.1* (light green) less competitive. Some LP.8* (dark green) left.

In sum, the concomitant rise of the two variants ("Stratus" and "Nimbus") did not do much in terms of prevalences.

#Covid #XFG #NB1.8.1.

Data until 15.6.

XFG* is >=50% in 4 of 6 plants. It looks slightly more competitive than the much-hyped NB.1.8.1*. Both did not seem capable to drive a large wave. Absolute growth of viral load and test positivities started beginning of May. (Note: trailing 7d medians).

#Covid #XFG #NB1.8.1.

Next-gen sequencing analysis of Swiss wastewater (https://cov-spectrum.org/stories/wastewater-in-switzerland) now additionally deconvolves XFG* and NB.1.8.1*.

Seq data until May 30. Mind the large CIs at low absolute viral load.

XFG* constitutes the largest fraction in 5 of 6 plants.
