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 Queensland, Australia.

As of mid-October, EG.5.* "Eris" (60%) was still dominant.

BA.2.86.* "Pirola" (4%) began rising during October.

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.

The detailed daily case data for NSW has been updated, up to October 18.

The Illawarra region stands out, with the highest cases per capita (284/M) combined with the highest Reff (1.34) for the week.

Here's the latest variant picture for South Australia.

EG.5.* "Eris" (33%) appears to have become dominant over "Deltacron" XBC.* (24%) and XBB.1.16.* "Arcturus" (23%), in a somewhat chaotic mix.

Sample volumes seem representative up to October 3.

Here's the latest variant picture for Tasmania, Australia.

The "Deltacron" XAY.* variant (45%) has been displaced by EG.5.* "Eris" (33%).

Sample volumes have been a bit patchy.

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.
