Raj's dashboard, updated yesterday, shows Stratus XFG overtaken by child XFG.2; PQ.2 as standout child of Nimbus NB.1.8.1 / PQ; and LP.8.1 long ago overshadowed by LP.8.1.1/ NY.
GISAID data for the most recent fortnight is dominated by submissions from New York (with all of 92 sequences—one more than ten days ago), followed by California (26—ten more), Florida (17) and Colorado (16).
#CDC's most recent Friday dataset, updated Tuesday June 24, showed Nimbus taking plurality, with Stratus XFG family also gaining share.
FDA vaccine target LP.8.1, dominant since March, plateaued in April. June saw Nimbus NB.1.8.1 / PQ, scion of "razor-blade throat" XDV, push LP.8.1 out of majority.
