COVID's future: mini-waves rather than seasonal surges

Three years after the start of the pandemic, SARS-CoV-2 shows no signs of settling into a seasonal pattern of spread, like influenza has.

“Brits urged to wear face masks again as new Arcturus Covid strain spreads across UK”

UK’s The Daily Mirror is by no means a reliable source of serious information, but this time, they quote Stephen Griffin, co-chair of Independent SAGE, saying, “people should go back to regularly testing as well as wearing masks.”

Reason is the continuing rise of variant XBB.1.16 that, according to another article (2nd link), “has seemingly brought on unique symptoms not previously seen in Covid strains.” Five British people have died from this variant in India.

"Brits urged to wear face masks again as new Arcturus Covid strain spreads across UK" mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/brit "Face masks should be worn again on public transport to stop the spread of super-infectious Covid variant Arcturus, experts claimed." The English are especially skittish about masks, so this headline is noteworthy.

As I covered earlier, 23B (XBB.1.16) is descended from the recombinant 22F (XBB) variant, with some additional mutations. You can read more about how it evolved & acquired those mutations below 👇🏻.

🎉CoVariants.org Update!🎉

23B (XBB.1.16) is now available on CoVariants! It's visible as part of Per Country & Per Variant plots, on the shared mutation page - and of course, has a page of its own.

‘Of concern’: New COVID variant hits Australia.

University of South Australia professor of biostatistics Adrian Esterman said it was “very difficult” to get hold of data on Arcturus (XBB.1.16), but early indications suggested it could be as much as 20% more transmissible than the recent Kraken (XBB.1.5) variant.
