#SARS3 #Covid #XBB116 #Arcturus is currently at just under 2% of cases based on sampling, so we're really at the start of this thing in the UK: Image
Breaking the UK up by nation we see the areas are all roughly the same prevalence: with Wales having the least Image
However, perhaps somewhat unexpectedly according to the data, US is well ahead of the UK, WITH A 5X increase in prevelence of nearly 10% of cases currently: that's very strange and somehwat makes me very much question the UK's data on this Image
Why do I say that? Historically, the UK is always a few weeks ahead of the US on new strains: why, nobody seems to know: but that's always the pattern.

doesn't know about this virus, which is why they shouldn't comment on it, and it's not information for people who aren't interested:
What I'm saying is based on years of work: much of which nobody outside of this circle pays any attention to: which is the way I like it: because this is only for people who are interested in the science of it and care: it's not for herd immunity people
