Raj's dashboard, updated yesterday, shows Stratus XFG in close competition with two if its children, as XFG.3 has spawned a child of its own.
GISAID data for the most recent fortnight is dominated by submissions from New York (149 sequences), followed by California (97), Colorado (66), and Illinois (41).
#CDC's most recent Friday dataset, updated June 24, showed Nimbus NB.1.8.1 / PQ taking plurality, with Stratus XFG family also gaining share.
Weaker showing for Nimbus in GISAID data reflects the fact that much available data is from New York. Were it not for California data, Nimbus would be barely evident.
