      I am really hoping that this doesn’t become a pattern. If the science changes, ok. But kids who are vaccinated should be in school. This strikes me, and perhaps I’m missing something, as an overreaction.https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/1470960313373806592 …

      It seems that all the students will now be sent home? While we need more time to have conclusive answers, basic principles and lab studies indicate this variant would pose the most threat to elderly—especially if without boosters. Maybe give the students an option to stay put?

      It would be great if residential colleges could get guidance from the CDC about the inevitable Omicron outbreaks. It’s not the same landscape as last year. Going home—travel in planes, trains—vs staying put under sensible conditions have trade-offs that need a public health lens.

      Yale, too. We are about one to two weeks behind Denmark, as a rough estimate, starting with residential colleges most of whom are about to enter a break, and thus disperse.https://twitter.com/NathanGrubaugh/status/1470849175847854083 …

      U of Washington. Must be more, not everyone is tracking the SGTF signal but that doesn’t mean this isn’t happening in many places.https://twitter.com/pavitrarc/status/1470447735585214464 …

      At @UWVirology, we continue to screen positive specimens using SGTF. Confirmation by sequencing usually lags by a few days, but we expect the majority of these SGTFs to be Omicron. If so, definitely seeing a rapid rise similar to reports from South Africa, UK, Denmark, etc. https://twitter.com/pavitrarc/status/1467310081939177476 … pic.twitter.com/1d7Rheqoe6
