what that means is you are
looking at the virus, you're
sequencing it, you're basically
saying, seeing if the virus is
changing, if there are more
mutations, if so, where are
those mutations and why the
antibodies that are created
either because of vaccine or
because of someone becoming
infected, will they be able to
combat these variants.
we haven't been looking.
we do about 0.3% of the
sequencing right now, compared
to 5% roughly in the uk.
we could probably easily double
that by developing these
private/public partnerships.
a lot of it is being done by the
private sector right now.
simply bringing on some of the
public labs would make a big
difference.
one thing i want to point out,
dr. fauci said we can show the
graphic.
he said he believes that the
current vaccines will be
effective against these variants
but it's also important to point
out that if the transmissibility
is 50% higher for example and
that carries forth over a month,
the 50% more contagious, that's
the right side...
