Here's the latest variant picture for South Australia.
The "Deltacron" XBC.1.6 variant (35%) has been dominant since early April - a unique scenario globally.
95% of the XBC.* samples shared recently have come from Australia, and South Australia and Western Australia are the only states where it is anywhere near dominant.
The South Australians being infected with XBC.1.6 have a raised immediate re-infection risk should they rely on natural immunity when encountering all the other variants circulating in Australia and globally.
XBB.1.16 "Arcturus" (14%) looks like the next challenger, although it is only making slow progress so far. Be alert for conjunctivitis symptoms, which seem more common with that variant.
The sample volumes seem representative up to June 5.
The third art piece of three landscapes I've finished in the last week also has a strong influence in the style of John Constable. This digital piece, done in oil on canvas style, is titled 'Setting Sun'. :)

Posting for #SilentSunday (even though it's now Monday morning here in Adelaide, lol..)
Another new piece, completed two days ago, simply titled 'Countryside'. A digital piece done in a style similar to John Constable with a strong emphasis on the use of greens & a dark palette, Oil on Canvas styled. :)

XBB.1.9.1 "Hyperion" (11%) and XBB.1.16 "Arcturus" (10%) are both continuing to rise.

Have had five different careers - urban planning, management consulting, #environmental consulting, overseas development, and #economic development. Have lived in three continents. Apparently I got bored easily.
Was once conscripted in a civil #war. I survived by being deliberately useless at everything I was told to do. Learned firsthand how terrible and ridiculous war is.
Sometimes I take pictures of animals that aren’t birds, although these Flying Foxes may count as honorary birds anyway! Taken in April 2022 in Adelaide, South Australia
