ohhhh.
So in the UK the whole push to minimize and outright ignore COVID and delegitimize prevention is to break doctors' unions.
Makes it clear why right-wingers have all the same COVID talking points. The worldwide path that many professionals are doing now starting to make a bit of sense.

Here's an alteration I made of a FANTASTIC flowchart by (found it!) "Your Local Epidemiologist", on Substack:
https://yourlocalepidemiologist.substack.com/p/state-of-affairs-oct-12
I amended it with TRG's COVID clan nicknames and added an arm (or whatever it's called) for BA.5.
LMK if any errors!

A short 🧵, going to keep all this searchable/public.

HV.1 is sooooooooo fast.
Also, nationally BA.2.86.1 is here now in multiple States (WA, OH, AZ, NY, MD) already.
I don't like this at all. HV.1 will be a force of nature if it gains FLip.
IMHO, winter is gonna be......something.

In PA, sequencing reflects national numbers but concerning variants are here: BA.2.86, HV.1, EG.5.1.3.: https://ibb.co/djn4ZHq
In NY/NJ, FL.1.5.1 easily tops the variant chart at 15%, and here's HV.1 right in second place at over 9% of sequencing.: https://ibb.co/VY6HF4h

FLips (short green arrows) still working their ways to the top of the leaderboard. Every day they gain more ground, collectively.
BA.2.86 still negligible at .07% of testing (but it's still being found in more places internationally).
The real problem is HV.1. This thing is moving VERY quickly. (Yikes.)
