Austria is the first European country where Pentagon / #Hexagon may already be dominant

Hospitalizations are rising faster than any of their Delta or Omicron waves. I don't know what to make of it at this point, but needs to be watched in case there has been a change to severity
I don't want to read too much into this yet, but it seems unusual so far.

Any information from boots on the ground doctors or nurses in Austria? Has there been a change to patient presentation in the past few weeks? increased O2 needed or chest Xray abnormalities?

We are seeing multiple variants with convergent evolution that will drive the next wave.

All variants with 5+ key RBD mutations can be grouped together, I am referring to this group as "Pentagon" for sharing the 5 mutations.

Thank you @CorneliusRoemer for covspectrum collection Image
@CorneliusRoemer Evaluating the rate of increase of spectra worldwide with these mutations shows very clear, steady log growth, currently estimated at +105% week/week over BA.5 Image
This phase of the pandemic is different than we've seen in the past, with the same advantageous mutations popping up all over instead of saltation (leaping) evolution. @shay_fleishon has a great, detailed thread
