And for my next trick. I would be interested to see a per capita (or case) comparison of SARS-CoV-2 genome sequencing broken down by country, or even at the state level here. Maybe my google skills are lacking. Yup, media frustration is real. It's not only a question of lessening funding/income, you've also gotta wonder if the absence of serious competition from right-wing outlets lets the "liberal" gatekeepers backslide into slop.
As of December 2020 Not per capita? But let's not get greedy
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.
