Most recent #CDC dataset, updated today, again omits Nowcast for the most recent four-week period, "[d]ue to low numbers of sequences being reported to CDC".
Stratus-Eleventy XFG.1.1 appears to gain share in April-May reporting, though under pressure from XFG.23.1.3 / RV and last Spring's LF.7 lineage. Cicada BA.3.2, Nimbus NB.1.8.1 / PQ, and XFZ recombinant, identified as challengers a month ago, now appear to be in retreat.
Note that, in absence of robust data from states, CDC has given up modeling historical estimates, instead giving only shares of reported sequences.
Raj's dashboard, updated end of March, showed XFG.1.1 at a quarter share, for the last half of the most recent reporting period, while Cicada grandkid RE.2 made a significant appearance.
That said, said GISAID data was dominated by paltry submissions from New York (171), Minnesota (85), Maryland (84), Nebraska (53), and Arizona (17).

The Labor Bureau's 'Current Population Survey (Household Survey)' saw a nearly 1.14 million increase between the end of the recession in 2008 and the beginning of the pandemic in 2020. This amounting to an average increase in the disabled population of less than 94 thousand a year.
For the period from April 2020 to date, that figure has climbed nearly 1.24 million, for an average increase in the disabled population of over 200 thousand a year, with no sign of slowing. Disability has climbed faster in the past half dozen years than it had in the previous dozen.
Another way to say all of this is that disability has been increasing at twice the pre-pandemic rate for six years straight, and continues to do so as we enter the pandemic's seventh year.
