So if I get B117, there’s only a certain number of cases in the community. With enhanced contact tracing it should be easier to highlight the chain of transmission given they will all be B117. Similarly outbreaks have a common link.

A lot of people do blame their COVID on the grocery store or some public facing setting, but in reality there are other contacts. This is now easier to highlight Similarly as we open schools - this may also highlight what the role schools have in comm transmission

One thing though for sure is we are seeing b117 circulate in ltc and essential work places. And that’s easy to predict but creates challenges. Ltc will hopefully have the benefit of vaccination soon, but workers will not for a couple months.

I think what we’re going to see for the weeks ahead is how much essential workplaces bear the brunt of regular covid and B117 given no new controls or sick leave pay. It will enter our communities and amplify. And it’s preventable.https://www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/article-by-ignoring-essential-workers-were-missing-the-mark-on-our-efforts-to/ …

It’s disappointing more isn’t being done to mitigate spread of B117 in workplaces and in common public spaces. The NHL is reacting faster than our government.

Is the NHL using our resources to do it? Are they using our rapid tests for public use?

What is necessary to identify these variants though? I assume rapid testing does not give this detail?

Yes, what % of samples are even being sequenced?

Peripherally related question from an ordinary layman. Can someone be infected with two variants at the same time? And if so, would they be "additive" making things worse? Or might they "compete" with one another for a roughly neutral effect? Can one even "kill off" the other?
-
Yes,but they don't compete,more like machines than animals.
