Scientists have recently unveiled the first draft of a new accounting of the human genome, which improves on its predecessor by being a more diverse and...

Pete: you were slammed then and in 2011 and some today. what this vanity fair article points out is there a scientist his name is bloom. is he a genetic scientists and looks at how these things mutate and noticed some of the early sars cov-2 genomic sequences had just been deleted. no longer and he sort of pointed out -- he got on a zoom call with fauci and others and presented this preliminary paper that said by looking at these deleted sequences which wuhan wanted us to delete and we deleted as well, maybe that would actually get a sense of where this actually came from. and there was a huge...

Have. is that good enough? i mean, is that -- it sounds like it's better than we have had in the past. or am i wrong? >> yeah, it's much better than it's been in the past. probably ten times better than it was this time last year. some 80,000 genomic sequences, versus closer to 8,000. keep in mind, though, we are only doing about a million and a half tests per day. that, also, is better. but i remember dr. jha's previous home institution harvard, road to recovery talked about the necessity for tens of millions of tests per day. so even on the front end just in terms of the number of tests that...

It's been in the past. probably ten times better than it was this time last year. some 80,000 genomic sequences, versus closer to 8,000. keep in mind, though, we are only doing about a million and a half tests per day. that, also, is better. but i remember dr. jha's previous home institution harvard, road to recovery talked about the necessity for tens of millions of tests per day. so even on the front end just in terms of the number of tests that we are doing in the first place is still too low. so that -- you know, the surveillance is improved but of a still small denominator, overall. that ...

Gets to the united states. >>. >> ali, good morning. it's great to be back with you. this is a reminder that this pandemic is far from over. it is not a surprise to us that we see another variant. we are going to continue to see variants emerge until we get the world vaccinated against this virus and stop it, but you're exactly right because of the efforts around the world to increase genomic surveillance and the sequencing and testing of these viruses, we can get an early read on something new emerging. a big hat tip to the scientist in south africa, botswana, hong kong, israel and belgium fo...
