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.
