CW: SARS-CoV-2 variants for the United States
Here's the latest variant picture for the United States.
XBB.1.5.* "Kraken" (26%) and XBB.1.16.* "Arcturus" (25%) are battling for dominance. The new EG.5.* variant (13%) has been rising steadily. XBB.1.9.* "Hyperion" (20%) is also significant.
The vigorous mix of variants implies increased immediate reinfection risks for those relying on immunity from a prior infection. Every variant is a minority of the recent samples.
The sample volumes seem representative up to July 12.

CW: SARS-CoV-2 variants for Western Australia
Here's the latest variant picture for Western Australia.
The XBC.* Deltacron variant clan (31%) appears to have surged to dominance, although recent samples are a bit patchy.
You could throw a blanket over XBB.1.16.* "Arcturus" (20%), XBB.1.9.* "Hyperion" (19%) and CH.1.1.* "Orthrus" (17%) variants.
XBB.1.5.* "Kraken" (9%) is still significant, along with XBB.2.3.* "Acrux" (9%).
The variant mix in WA continues to be uniquely chaotic, reflecting its situation as a global crossroads. Even WA residents who've been racking up regular reinfections are likely to meet new variants capable of overcoming their immunity. Four variants are at 17%+ frequency, with another two around 10%.
The sample volumes seem representative up to May 16.
