Don't forget CDC TGS! BA.3.2 surveillance score is 3-0. Overall TGS 3 total: 1 from wastewater (which you mention linked) & 2 from asymptomatic traveler nasal swabs (GenBank: PV849885.1; PX641353.1) Earliest TGS from 6/2025.

Oh crap. There was a BA.3.2 in California last week.

It's GBW and 'environmental', so presumably from plane waste.

Had you heard about it? Did they miss it? It was only 5% of the sample, but very clear.

AGREE! I’ve said similar about Taco Bell’s innovation approach - love it! This is another great article on them: www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...
Taco Bell’s Innovation Kitchen, the Front Line in the Stunt-Food Wars
How did the chain outdo Burger King’s Bacon Sundae, Pizza Hut’s hot-dog-stuffed crust, Cinnabon’s Pizzabon, and KFC’s fried-chicken-flavored nail polish?
