Granular details - #VariantSoup with Convergent Mutations #30DayTrends

BQ.1/BQ.1.1 and BA.2.75.2 are heading the charts!

2/n

Tracked #Convergent #lineages are predicted to be immune evasive and bind to host ACE2 receptor better than Omicron.BA2

XBB is most immune evasive
Most BA.2.75* binds better to ACE2 receptors

Closely watched lineages - XBB, BM.1.1.1, CA.1, BQ.1.1, BN.1
