Here's the latest variant picture with a global scope.
XEC.* variants took over dominance from DeFLuQE variants during December, but they are already under pressure.
The LP.8.1.* group of variants have emerged as a challenger, rising steadily to around 10%.

My outfit is so cute today!💜 It’s still kind of cold (13°C), most people are wearing wool coats or puffer jackets, but I didn’t want to cover up my ‘fit so I just wore thermals underneath. The giant tote bag kinda ruins it but I have my AirFanta 4Lite in there. 😅

Today, MPs have the chance to vote the #CANBill through to the ‘Committee Stage’ where this plan for bold climate & nature will be scrutinised by Parliament.

This is extraordinary! The Government says it will expel MPs if they vote for the Climate & Nature Bill for the vital action to protect our environment—backed by thousands of scientists, NGOs, councils and businesses.
It should be a vote of conscience. What are they thinking??!

We are dismayed that the Health Secretary has utterly misinterpreted the evidence from the Inquiry. Although Ritchie restated her flawed beliefs, the evidence is overwhelming, and was presented to the Inquiry, that the primary mode of transmission of SarsCov2 is airborne.
![Letter states: The Government understands the debilitating effect that long COVID cna have on adults and children and is committed to improving the lives of people living with the condition. As someone who has been suffering with long COVID , I understand just how debilitating it can be. Sine my appointment in July, I have held a number of meetings to look much more closely at long COVID and myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrom and how we can best support people with these conditions. As of 1 April 2024 there are over 90 adult post-COVID services acros sEngland, along with an additional ten children's and young people's hubs. These services assess people with long COVID and direct them to care pathways that provide appropriate support and treatment. GPs will assess patiehnts who have COVID-19 symptoms lasting longer than four weeks and refer them to a long-COVID service where appropriate. I also appreciate Ms McConway's concerns about airborne transmision of COVID-19. [highlighted]Although not the primary mode of transmission [/highlighted], smaller particles can remain airborne for extended periods and travel further distances. Transmission may occur under certain conditions, such as in enclosed and poorly ventilated spaces and during specific aerosol generating medical procedures. This transmission mode has been implicated in some outbreak scenarios, including choir practices and indoor gatherings. Guidance has been published on transmission routes which can be found at www.gov.uk/government/publications/sars-cov-2-transmission-routes-and-endvironments-22-october-2020. [highlighted]In her testimony to the COVID-19 Inquiry, Dr Lisa Ritchie, NHS England's National INfection PRevention and Control LEad, reaffirmed that COVID-19 is not predominantly transmitted throug the airborne route. This position is supported by the Government [/highlighted] and](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:nmrrifhcgk7fxk6w4eqkmdh7/bafkreidneyssfuf32egly4qizjkuzbade3az7pdjsj4m3umoixf7atsonu@jpeg)

Erm. No. I have a kid out there in unmitigated classrooms. I really do not want C19 to be any worse than it is.
Also, I’m not an evil person, so I don’t want anyone else’s kids dropping dead either.
