Q-wave (BA.2.12.1) may have peaked in NY.. expect a Q/R transition period of relative calm.. then setting the stage for a R-wave (triggered by BA.5/BA.4)
Recombinant #SARSCoV2 lineage #XEC (recombinant of KS.1.1/KP.3.3) has the potential to outcompete other circulating lineages in #USA (and other countries)
More data is needed to provide a reliable growth advantage estimates
KP.3.1.1* is the top circulating group of lineages in the world. This analysis includes #SARSCoV2 sequences submitted to @GISAID with sample collection dates on or after 07/25/2024 (14,688 sequences)

@GISAID Thanks to all the countries that are still supporting #SARSCoV2 testing and rapidly submitting sequences to @GISAID
