.@CDCgov updated variant proportions estimates on 12/30/2022 (updated every Friday)

Several BQ* are circulating at >1% especially BQ.1.22 is a good candidate to be included in CDC's Nowcast estimates next week!

Predicted Immune Escape and ACE2 binding of top lineages in USA (relative to BA.2)

Bivalent boosters (OG/Omicron.BA.5) will potentially protect the boosted from getting severe disease/hospitalizations.

Please get #boosted ASAP!
