Thanks. Very interesting. For posterity: Gotta be careful with that Y-axis log scale. So there aren't many wealthy countries that were doing less sequencing than the USA on a per case count basis as of Dec. 2020. I would bet we've improved upwards, but probably not even close to by factor of 10. It's also a function of outbreak severity and testing rates, but yeah. Maybe it's a more benign variant than Delta, i.e. doesn't replicate as fast? Time will tell.
