SARS-CoV-2 variants for Australia
Here's the latest variant picture for Australia.
The growth of DeFLuQE variants appears to have ended.
XEC.* grew to around 35%.
For Australia, XEC.* variants showed a slightly accelerating growth advantage of 2.9% per day (20% per week) over the dominant DeFLuQE variants, with a crossover in mid-November.
Victoria continues to be under-represented, the dismal routine. Victoria has shared 4X fewer samples than South Australia in recent months, despite a ~3.5X larger population. Samples from Victoria (and Tasmania) lag the other states by over a month.
