I've started a new project to provide interactive data analysis on CO2 levels. The data is gathered from Aranet monitors or can be entered manually.
I have started gathering a public dataset of files and can now accept submissions via GitHub. That dataset is presented in a public dashboard for analysis by anyone.
If you prefer a private analysis, you can clone this project and run it on your own machine, using the free Power BI Desktop tool.
Over time, I hope to add features for tagging of location and categorisation.
Here's the latest variant picture for the GW.5.1.1 lineage, a descendant of XBB.1.9.* "Hyperion"
It has been growing since early Sept, notably in the UK (3%) and Australia (1.5%).
The Variant Trackers have been drawing attention to this lineage, as one of the handful that have convergently acquired both the "FLip" mutations L455F + F456L as well as A475V.
Here's the latest variant picture for South Australia.
The next challenge to EG.5.* "Eris" (56%) looks like either XBB.1.5.* "Kraken" (16%) or BA.2.86.* "Pirola" (10%), which looks to have started community transmission.
The dismantling of the Australian COVID-19 case reporting is hiding the scale (or even existence) of the current wave of community transmission sweeping across the country.
From the health.gov.au data (faithfully extracted by @dbRaevn) here are 4 key metrics, on a log scale to compare waves:
Cases (reported from PCR & RAT tests)
Hospitalised cases
Aged Care Staff cases
PBS scripts (for oral treatments)
Its fairly clear that they each move up in down in close synchronisation as the waves and troughs have occurred. Each metric has stayed within fairly consistent ranges, apart from Cases which in a steady decline, making historical comparisons irrelevant.
I think the most consistent is Aged Care Staff cases, where there is still mostly mandating of testing and reporting. I do expect that to be eroding slowly to become less accurate, but it's probably the best we have.
Here's the latest variant picture for Victoria, Australia.
The EG.5.* "Eris" variant (44%) is competing with XBB.2.3.* "Acrux" (38%).
Sample volumes are a pale shadow of what they once were - now lagging, patchy and inconsistent. Under 150 samples represent a 6-week period, which likely distorts this picture.
The latest wave of COVID to hit Victoria, Australia is taking shape. Probably the most consistent stat is hospitalisations - the VIC definition is "Beds occupied by active COVID-19 cases.". These are already up 50% from the trough on August 7.
