It’s time to target variant hotspots. It would also help the rest of the country gain time while we rush to vaccinate. “Ring vaccination” type surge of vaccines, more strict measures, distributing higher-filtration masks. With exponential threats, even a week’s delay counts.https://twitter.com/ScottGottliebMD/status/1359844441775890432 …

In this moment, any delay we can introduce means push that curve under the vaccine hammer! It would make sense to try that wherever we detect an outbreak of a more transmissible variant. It’s not a perfect strategy—it’s already widespread—but we’re looking for any delay.

Any idea what percent of positive tests are sequenced in the US? All I know is US was 43rd globally in sequencing and few studies I’ve seen indicate absolute numbers are small and geographically concentrated. 1/2

Not good if you are trying to track multiple variants and ascertain relative rate of transmission! Thanks! 2/2

How about using variant specific PCR tests?
