It looks like the lab that tests which variants are in our waste water in Bavaria was on holiday for most of June. The latest sample to be tested is from a month ago and it is almost 50% so-called recombinant lineages. The rest is Omicron JN.1 (13.2%) and Omicron NB1.8.1 (39.6%).

#CovidIsNotOver in Nuremberg.
Latest sample is from Monday but wasn't published until today. The #VariantSoup information is also a couple of weeks old, but oh well.

Bay-VOC – Abwassermonitoring in Bayern

Das bayerische Abwassermonitoring erfasst und analysiert die Virusaktivität in Abwässern. Regelmäßig ausgewertete Daten zu SARS-CoV-2, Influenza und RSV unterstützen die Gesundheitsüberwachung in Bayern.

We have water quality standards. We need #AirQuality standards, especially in schools.

#CovidDispatch from #NYC: I’m hearing anecdotes about recent/current #COVID infections, and symptoms that appear to characterize the newest #VariantSoup are respiratory in nature. Specifically:

Bad cough; “water in lungs” feeling; trouble taking deep breaths; lung congestion.

Since almost any symptom could be caused by #covid19 these days, stay alert and continue being #CovidSafe!

We Now Face an Army of COVID Viruses | The Tyee

The pandemic has not ended. It is evolving, with big implications. Here are six.

The Tyee

On en attendait un chinois, voici un BA.5.2 danois.

BA.5.2.46▶️Orf1b:T1050N + Orf1a:K510E + S:N460K + S:K444T
BA.5.2.46(.1)▶️+ Orf1a:D203N

D'un coup, ce variant acquiert la meilleure mutation de replication virale (+ une autre dans un potentiel sous variant japonais, pas encore désigné), et 2 mutations d'échappement immunitaire ++

#COVID19 #Variant #VariantSoup #Variantofconcern

2 mois après son apparition, comeback de CK.1 (BA.5.2.24*).

CK.1.1▶️CK.1 + S:Y144del + S:N856S

▶️S:144del: La meilleure mutation d'infectivité
▶️S:886S: Beaucoup de mutations récemment en 882-889. dans et autour du FFPR Spike (fusion cellulaire)

Ce variant dispose aussi des 4 mutations d'échappement immunitaire ++ lui venant de son ancêtre

#Covid19 #Variant #VariantSoup #Variantofconcern

XBB.4▶️XBB + S:K444R

Cette mutation est la seconde meilleure mutation d'échappement immunitaire connue aujourd'hui.

Tous ces XBB sont présents en France aujourd'hui, à bas bruit, attendant que leur heure vienne, peut-être.

#Covid19 #Variant #VariantSoup #Variantofconcern

XBB.2▶️XBB + S:D253G

Mutation de la boucle N5 du NTD Spike (la "clé" ACE2). Vue dans Iota, qui a ravagé New York début 2021 avant l'arrivée de Delta.

XBB.3▶️XBB + ORF1b:I1988V

Mutation inconnue sur le RdRp NSP12 (agit sur la réplication/transcription)
