3) I know the variants are getting hard to keep track. But here is a handy shortcut info graphic.pic.twitter.com/HhXjWc7GQt
4) UK is now able to track all of these carefully because it is sequencing 20,000 cases a week to identify variants. This is a huge volume given UK cases are relatively low.https://www.cogconsortium.uk/
5) India cases are surging. And it’s spilling over to other country during international travel. Like on a flight to Hong Kong.https://twitter.com/DrEricDing/status/1384077181664432131 …
6) in India, some early data is showing that somehow #B117 is being outcompeted. The #B1617 is growing fast and becoming dominant. India doesn’t have enough reliable sequencing so this is just scratching at the surface.https://twitter.com/drericding/status/1383737643452669958?s=21 …
7) Longer thread by @chrischirp on variants in the UK and India. Top figure was created by her.https://twitter.com/chrischirp/status/1383905260603789313 …
8) is #B117 truly being outcompeted and declining in India? Unclear due to limited sequencing. But it’s definitely not surging like #b1617 is in India. That is worrisome. https://outbreak.info/situation-reports?pango=B.1.1.7&selected=IND&loc=GBR&loc=USA&loc=USA_US-CA&loc=IND …pic.twitter.com/9BavSBCRl3
9) More mutation and variants = more problems.https://twitter.com/DrEricDing/status/1383771721426034699 …
10) WOW—nearly ever single flight from India to Toronto airport this past month has had at least a passenger carrying #COVID19. And 1/3 of all international flights landing in Toronto had Covid. We need border quarantines ASAP.https://torontosun.com/news/local-news/nearly-every-india-to-toronto-flight-this-month-carried-covid-passengers …
11) to be clear, since I wasn’t precise, the school reopening comment was directly referring to B1351 (mentioned in preceding sentence in my top post) for which there is some evidence it was school driven.https://twitter.com/chrischirp/status/1383905281222975488 …
