According to wastewater testing, Kauai had the highest prevalence. We can see the curve turn up as prevalence starts to grow exponentially.

XBB.1.16 is an extremely contagious airborne virus that evades antibodies from prior infections & is more likely to weaken immune system.

XBB.1.16 is between 8% and 20% of cases depending on the area, but it is spreading faster as prevalence increases. In about 3 weeks, it will be at over 60% prevalence.

This is the most contagious and immune evasive/suppressive variant to date.

Prevalence of COVID is increasing in many areas around the U.S., the U.K., Australia, and likely all around the world.
