Raj's dashboard, updated yesterday, shows Stratus wildly diversified, having spawned multiple third-generation pango aliases and descendant recombinants. This after months of data suggesting XFG evolution had been stagnant.

GISAID data for the most recent three-week-and-change period is dominated by submissions from New York (178 sequences), followed by Colorado (137), Oregon (77), Nebraska (58), and Minnesota (39).

#CDC's most dataset, updated September 26, showed Stratus XFG family dominating, with Nimbus NB.1.8.1 / PQ in second place, down to one-fourteenth share, this nearly neck-in-neck with FDA Vaccine Target LP.8.1 (or its family line) at one-seventeenth share.

Note that, in absence of robust data from states, CDC has given up modeling historical estimates, instead giving only shares of reported sequences.

#CDC's most dataset, updated Friday, shows tightly-knit Stratus XFG family dominating, with Nimbus NB.1.8.1 / PQ in second place, down to one-fourteenth share, this nearly neck-in-neck with FDA Vaccine Target LP.8.1 (or its family line) at one-seventeenth 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, last updated over two weeks ago, shows Stratus XFG pulling ahead in competition with its two children, even as XFG.3 has spawned a child of its own.

GISAID data for the most recent four week period is dominated by submissions from Colorado (514 sequences), followed by California (485), Utah (160), and New York (146).

Took it easy this month, recovering from seasonal booster. Thus, only a hundred more lines for #AnnoPlot #dataviz project since last round of work in August:

Work in September focused on:

* clarification of winter ancestries in legend footnotes
* restoring variant peak tracking from biweekly CDC data
* some more previously deferred refactoring
* preliminary work to allow for partial variants #datavis orchard chart bar between periods
* tweaking utility script to accommodate legacy variant namespace clash
* debugging and conforming usage
* clarification of language in caption

GISAID data for the most recent four week period is dominated by submissions from Colorado (327 sequences), followed by California (297), Utah (160), and New York (129).

#CDC's most recent Tuesday dataset, updated end of August, shows tightly-knit Stratus XFG family dominating, with Nimbus NB.1.8.1 / PQ in second place at around one-seventh share.

Note that, in absence of robust data from states, CDC has given up modeling historical estimates, instead giving only shares of reported sequences.

Come work with me to define the future of product design education in Aotearoa!

We’re looking for an early career or mid career researcher with a strong background in teaching and design practice and experience delivering apps with modern web platform or game engine technology. We’d also love to hear from researchers with deep expertise in type design and font engineering; information architecture and data visualisation; or similar niches adjacent to product design who might thrive in our unique interdisciplinary context.

Revisiting Data by Design: An Interactive History of Data Visualization by @laurenfklein and the team at Emory University. Such a neat way to present the history of data visualization: https://dev.dataxdesign.io

While the book is forthcoming, the website already offers an impressive investigation into the contexts of historic maps and charts — featuring annotated originals and interactive recreations.
