The Karnataka government on Friday filed a police complaint at High Ground police station to know why the first Omicron patient "escaped" the country.
And we don't yet know. what we do know is that early data and even mutation data are telling us that this may well be a more transmissible variant than delta. and so this is going to take some time to sort out. we are prepared, though, we are doing genomic sequencing in all of the states but it may be that we start to see more omicron than we have delta. and we will be following that very carefully. >> you know, as you mentioned, we're doing a lot more sequencing than a year ago or even several months ago but it strikes me, we're still only doing about a million tests a day, period. there was ...
And we're learning a lot about, we will learn a lot about of this variant from them. there are now six states that have reported cases here in the united states. we have scaled up our genomic sequencing here and have been prepared tor this because of all of the work that we've done so far. we have so many more tools now to address variants than we did a year ago. but i want to highlight what was said at the top which is, you know, we now have about 86,000 cases of covid right now in the united states being diagnosed daily and 99.9% of them, the vast majority of them continue to be delta. and w...
Dominant strain here in the u.s. here's what she said. >> it might. we don't yet know. what we do know is that early data and even mutation data are telling us that this may well be a more transmissible variant than delta. and so this is going to take some time to sort out. we are prepared, though. we are doing genomic sequencing in all these states. >> what did you make of that? >> we are doing a lot more genoming sequencing but most of these variants are typically found in other places first. a large part of that is we're still not doing enough overall testing. pcr tests. >> in the united st...
