.@CDCgov updated variant proportions estimates on 04/07/2023 (updated every Friday)

Expect XBB.1.16 to feature in the CDC-dashboard this week

Prudent to start tracking XBB.1.5.13 (parent of EK.1* and EK.2*), XBB.1.5.15 and XBB.2.3 as well

XBB.1.16 has the potential to outcompete all other circulating lineages.

Everyone is closely watching XBB.1.16 hotspots for clues

XBB.1.16 is one of the fittest variant in circulation right now.. and is picking up additional mutations... "its the one to watch"
