Haven't seen a fatality count on this one yet, just hyper contagion news.


Does anyone have death counts from Botswana? Is this Nov-Dec 2019 all over again?

from this site linked:
Prof Ewan Birney, Deputy Director General of EMBL and Director of EMBL’s European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI), said:

“Early evidence from genomic surveillance in South Africa suggests that B.1.1.529 is a serious cause for concern. The South African surveillance and epidemiology groups should be commended for their timely data collection, analysis and transparency.

“Armed by our experience and understanding of the Alpha and Delta variants, we know that early action is far better than late action. It may turn out that this variant is not as large a threat as Alpha and Delta, but the potential consequences of not acting on the possibility it could be are serious.

“Measures to prevent this variant of concern from spreading include implementing appropriate quarantine and PCR testing measures and sequencing on international travel from Southern Africa and continue careful monitoring of the circulating SARS-CoV-2 variants. The international community should get drugs and vaccines to South Africa as soon as possible. All countries should remain vigilant and share SARS-CoV-2 genomes.”
