In one bound England has doubled the worldwide score of sequenced BA.2. 86 ,

(but that's only because only relatively minute amounts of testing and sequencing has been going on, as governments tried to hide from reality. My chemist friend tests people positive, but the reporting mechanism to central government has been cancelled ! )

As of 4 September 2023, there are 34 BA.2.86 sequenced cases in England, with cases located in East of England, London, and North West England.

These cases include 28 sequenced as part of an investigation of an outbreak in a care home which reported a high attack rate.
