The LP.8.1.* variant shows a growth advantage of 2.3% per day (16% per week) over the dominant XEC.* variant. That predicts a crossover in mid-March (the data routinely lags).

Here are the leading countries reporting LP.8.1.*. It has been most successful in Brazil, at 50-70% frequency. There’s also steady growth in the US, past 40%. That shows it potentially being more successful than the XEC.* variant was, and therefore driving larger waves.
