The US seems just a bump looking at the seven-day average and there were some death backlogs in Europe, but there was a real increase in France.
I'm unsure about the timing of the next wave. BA.5 lineages with R346T might be intermediate to BA.2.75.2 and their relative growth is small and similar to each other. It could be just another smooth line like the US from BA.2.12.1 to BA.5 or numbers could remain low until a November surge.
