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).

Most recent #CDC dataset, updated late January, showed four XFG lineages, reflecting variants broken out by CDC in recent months, together outpacing growth of parent and remaining siblings and niblings.

#CDC does not protect us from the stupidity of #variants.

https://nextstrain..org ISSUE:

"This open (NCBI / GenBank) analysis is now our default view into SARS-CoV-2 evolution. Previously we defaulted to GISAID-sourced data, however on October 1st, 2025 GISAID indicated they will no longer update the flat file they historically provisioned to Nextstrain since Feb 2020. Updates to this open data analysis are continuing at their regular weekly cadence."

#covid19 #coviddevelopment #worldwidehealthissue #covid #variants

Graph that pointed out the timeline (x) and the number of covid variants (y). The graph shows that every year we have more and more simultaniously variants.

This makes it harder to protect against it as you may need different vaccine with more strains create a strong protection. It may also lead to question how the society should act as more time goes by.

After missing last month's update for reason of government shutdown, #CDC's most recent dataset, updated Friday, finally breaks out estimates for multiple XFG subvariants.

Nowcast suggests three XFG strains have gained significant share in past four weeks, along with two recombinants, XFZ (child of PG.3.2 and XFC.3) and XFV (child of LP.8.1 and XFG.3.3.1).

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 weeks ago, shows Stratus wildly diversified, having spawned multiple third-generation pango aliases & descendant recombinants. Previous data had suggested XFG was stagnant.

GISAID data for the latter two-weeks-and-change of the most recent period is dominated by submissions from California (120 sequences), followed by New York (87), Minnesota (49), and Colorado (36)—paltry all round.
