Another four hundred lines for #AnnoPlot #dataviz project since last round of work in March:

hcommons.social/@beadsland/114

Work in May/early June included:

• tweaks to this pie chart, chirp logging, annoplot legend classes and newspaper columns orphan control;

• tweaks to variants #datavis: tree constructor process, alt-text pruning internals, legend subclass, tree constructor methods, name collisions and recombinant lineage assignments, family groupings and legend headers, variant mocking, title overhang, tile embossing, growth calculation, and captions, all including significant refactoring;

• migration of bug to legend footer, and build out of prioritized legend footnotes for prominent lineages and recombinants, including recombinant chains, with calculation and approximation of historical peaks, and pruning for space constraints of both alt-text and footer proper.

“To visualize with care is to visualize with empathy: to make visible environmental harm, surface suppressed narratives, reveal shared experiences, and confront the structural biases that too often remain hidden.”

Nightingale · Visualizing as a Form of Collective Care, NightingaleCare is easy to recognize on a personal level, especially when it takes the form of small, attentive gestures woven into daily life.

Since March, LP.8.1 has been dominant. FDA designates same as vaccine target, on very week its share has plateaued.

Data collection continues to be low priority nationally—as exactly zero regions have enough data for CDC to plot.

No new variants broken out by #CDC, although the "razor blade throat" variant, NB.1.8.1, remains significant in GISAID.

Raj's dashboard was last updated yesterday.

Happy birthday to founder of modern nursing, social reformer, statistician, data visualization innovator and writer Florence Nightingale (1820 – 1910)!⁠
Nightingale earned the nickname “The Lady with the Lamp” during the Crimean War, from a phrase used by The Times, describing her as a “ministering angel” making her solitary rounds of the hospital at night with “a little lamp in her hand”. 🧵

Updated #CDC estimates show we'd pretty much been in a JN.1.11 soup since Dec, until late March, when LP.8.1 took majority.

CDC breaks out recombinant XFC from FLiRT parent LF.7 . (Our dataviz now identifies parentage for each recombinant.) Raj's dashboard was last updated today.

Two children of LF.7.7, dot1 and dot2, broken out by CDC, together with PA.1, a grandchild of MC.10.

No new variants broken out, yet CDC seems to have resources to tailor their color key: hcommons.social/@beadsland/114

Updated #CDC estimates show we've pretty much been in a JN.1.11 soup since Dec, until late March, when LP.8.1 took majority.

Data collection continues to be a low priority nationally, as only one region (NY/NJ) has enough data for CDC to plot.

A FLuQE wavelet opened September, cresting as KP.3.1.1 / MC wave into November. FDA's second-guess vaccine target, KP.2, dropped out in December. Updated #CDC estimates indicate we've been in a JN.1.11 soup pretty much since then.

No new variants broken out by CDC, as KP.1.1.3 / LP descendant LP.8.1 approaches majority.

No recent GISAID data—as Raj's dashboard hasn't updated in near a month.
