Something that's frustrating about this type of situation which is probably going to arise many more times over the next few years; time is of the essence in this type of situation, and whilst detailed research into the nature of the mutations in this variant takes time, but basic data that doesn't take much time to gather is still not being shared. When hearing about a bunch of cases discovered to have this new variant, it would help to assess the situation if we knew data related to each case: vaccination status, age, viral load, severity, etc. All those details must have been collected already, and would indicate exactly how much of a concern the new variant is or isn't.
