Update Pango lineage pivots to JN.1 #89

Closed joverlee521 closed 6 months ago

joverlee521 commented 6 months ago

Based on @trvrb's notes¹ in today's forecasting meeting:

Separately, we need to still update the pivot soon as XBB.1.5 frequencies are becoming quite low in early timesteps. Based on previous input, we should just plan to jump directly to JN.1 as baseline.

We don't have an exact matching Nextstrain clade for JN.1 so not updating the pivot for Nextstrain clades in this commit.

Checklist

Making this a draft PR in case we want to wait on making JN.1 it's own Nextstrain clade before changing the pivots.
