I am in a hotspot with rising cases
Let’s take 100 random positive results and send them for surveillance.
Out of the 100 samples determine how many are Delta vs. Less transmissible
Let’s say the proportion is 80/20. The dominant strain is Delta. It is not the only strain circulating, but is the one people are most likely to be infected with.
I think we all understand that concept. The question for the CDC is where is the data, and how much do they have.
If we are going to "believe the science" then there should be data showing the very test results you are proposing are necessary to determine which COIVD variant is dominant in an area. So lets see the data.
Presumably the CDC is running thousands of full virus sequences as a part of their surveillance work. There is no reason they can't publish that data in real time as they perform the tests. Just a zip code and the genomic data they found for the sample.
The original author suspects that there is no such body of test data.
“Let’s say...”?
For petes sake, you are Fauci’s intern?
If you don’t know, just guess?
That is some pathetic stuff, my friend.
