Really? I wonder how much of this is "it's very easy to spot in the pcr" and we don't have to Redeploy tests..
- dnautics 5y agoShould clarify: I'm not discounting the possibility that this variant spreads quickly, but given the known fact that it detects very easily, some sort of statistical modeling of how to correct for that (or a disclaimer that we are comparing apples to oranges) would be nice before making a pronouncement about rapidity
