I emailed the CDC to ask them how they are verifying what variant is dominant. This was their answer. Thoughts?@LiamSchubel @nia3in @btysonmd @drdavidsamadi @drsimonegold @mercola @DrTessaT pic.twitter.com/AAUokFmue6— Dnice4Jesus (@DeniceMarin) July 30, 2021
Good question I was wondering myself. And that “answer” doesn’t really specify it.
I would assume the test’s samples are sent out - but can a sequencing be done of each one that quickly for the data that is coming out? Or is just a small sampling of the overall tests they are doing this to and they are making estimates based on that?
