#COVID19 #VariantDashboard - #USA
[without sequences from "Airport Surveillance"]

Top lineages (#15DayTrends):

XBB.1.5 (61.1%)
XBB.1.9.1 (8.0%)
XBB.1.16 (3.5%)
FL.2 (1.7%)
XBB.1.5.1 (1.7%)
XBB.1.5.17 (1.7%)
XBB.1.9.2 (1.4%)
XBB.1.5.15 (1.2%)

Airport sequences constitute a significant proportion of sequences (~27%; #15DayTrends)

Its going to be a three way race to outcompete XBB.1.5*: XBB.1.9* vs XBB.1.16* vs XBB.2.3*

As of now, XBB.1.16* family looks to over take everything else!

Sequence count by US States

#NewYork and #California have submitted a big share of sequences with specimen collection dates on or after 04/15/2023

XBB.1.5 is still at the top spot; followed by XBB.1.9.1 and XBB.1.16

.@CDCgov updated variant proportions estimates on 04/28/2023 (updated every Friday)

Prudent to start tracking EG.1*, XBB.1.16.1 & XBB.2.3* as well

XBB.1.16 has the potential to outcompete all other circulating lineages.

Everyone is closely watching XBB.1.16 hotspots for clues

XBB.1.16 is one of the fittest variant in circulation right now.. and is picking up additional mutations... "its the one to watch"
