''Data from July 31 to August 06, a rise in the incidence of several #VOIs has been observed, especially those belonging to #EG5 (a subvariant of #XBB192 with the additional Spike mutation: F456L), #XBB116 and #XBB1166 (with Spike mutation F456L). In particular, among sequenced viruses, #EG5 represented 32,4% (#EG51, 18,9%; #EG511,
13,5%); #XBB116 (18,9%) and XBB.1.16.6, 16,2%.'' -

"Brits urged to wear face masks again as new Arcturus Covid strain spreads across UK" https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/brits-urged-wear-face-masks-29836374 #COVID #Arcturus #XBB116 #COVID19 "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 👇🏻.

🎉http://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.

New Covid ‘variant of interest’ Arcturus may ‘spread globally’
A study from the University of Tokyo published on the biology research website bioRxiv suggested that Arcturus (XBB.1.16) is 1.2 times more infectious than the Kraken (XBB.1.5) variant, writing that it will “spread worldwide in the near future.”

A rather concerning article from TACT about the current state of COVID vaccines:
"New Study: Bivalent Booster Demonstrated No Efficacy Against Infection from the XBB Lineages. *Important Booster Considerations*"Some very interesting info about "the impact that each booster shot has on our immune system."

#SARSCoV2 variant update 4/24
XBB.1.6 continues it’s march this week with new states reporting:
20 states have reported XBB.1.16 over the few months totaling 10% of cases nationwide at present
-
23B (XBB.1.16) is different from 22F (XBB) primarily through 3 new Spike mutations - S:E180V; S:K478R; & S:486P (acquired independently from other XBB sublineages).
In addition, S:G252V is inherited from ancestral XBB.1https://twitter.com/firefoxx66/status/1648588097381101570

If you or your kids have red, itchy or sticky eyes, it may actually be the latest #COVID19 variant, XBB.1.16 (#XBB116). Do a test. This is a symptom we didn’t see often with past #COVIDvariants, so it’s easy to mistake it for allergies. #MedTwitter -
Hospital cases spike as COVID ‘Arcturus’ strain rises
A new Omicron strain causing chaos in India is gaining strength in Victoria. And the XBB.1.16 strain, nicknamed Arcturus, has a different symptom.
-
A new strain dubbed Arcturus, XBB 1.16 has caused infections to skyrocket in India, prompting the World Health Organisation (WHO) to declare it a variant of interest.
There may also be an increased risk to children.
The additional mutations create the potential for the strain to infect more easily and potentially cause more severe disease, Dr Van Kerkhove said.
There may also be an increased risk to children.
Indian paediatrician, Dr Vipin Vashishtha, tweeted that paediatric cases were on the rise for the first time in 6 months, and that “an infantile phenotype seems emerging.”
In addition to high fever and coughs, which are common symptoms of Covid, Dr Vashishtha has also seen conjunctivitis among children presenting with the virus.
