The administration unveiled its planned distribution of federal funding from the American Rescue Plan directed at assisting the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and state and local governments in detecting and monitoring COVID-19 variants.   "Our ability to spot variants as they emerge and spread is vital, particularly as we aim to get ahead of dangerous variances, before they emerge as they are in the Midwest right now," Andy Slavitt, senior White House pandemic adviser, said at a Friday COVID-19 response team briefing.

Antibodies produced from infection with SARS-CoV-2 501Y.V2 protect against other variants As the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic continues to claim thousands of lives daily around the world, the pathogen responsible for it, the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), continues to undergo mutational changes. A recent paper in the journal Nature shows that while earlier lineages do not elicit antibodies capable of efficiently neutralizing the newly emerged South African variant, SARS-CoV-2 501Y.V2 (B.1.351), the converse does occur. The SARS-CoV-2 501Y.V2 var...

March 16, 2021 Genome sequencing is key to identifying variants but process is very slow and very expensive and states are falling short of goals.
