Described here in CIDRAP:
US COVID markers show declines or stable trends | CIDRAP (umn.edu)
“In its variant proportion updates, the CDC said the HV.1 Omicron subvariant, which descends from EG.5.1, continues to rise, and 29% is the most common variant. Another that showed rises over the past 2 weeks was HK.3, another EG.5.1 descendant. The level of BA.2 viruses, which likely include the highly mutated BA.2.86, showed a very small rise, currently making up an estimated 1% of samples.!”

The virus would be (basically) extinct now if we had been able to achieve herd immunity. We will only achieve herd immunity when all the vaccinated are gone.
