Daily SARS-CoV-2 case numbers by specimen date for the United Kingdom from 2020 - 2022 retrieved from the UK Health Security Agency's data dashboard. downloaded data describing the daily number of variants detected by collection date. The data classified all sequences based on ‘major lineage calls’. We considered 11 groupings of the variants based on their major lineage calls or other, consisting of all lineages with a designation not consistent with any of the major lineage calls.
