“Notes from a call with Edward Ryan MD” 这不是新闻或者论文,搜不到原文不奇怪。
算是小道消息,信不信都无所谓。还好能搜到人名,比Wilson Edwards靠谱。
下面这个是正经新闻了吧?不了解bostonglobe是不是可靠的媒体,也许可以参考一下。

Omicron accounts for 95 percent of COVID-19 cases in Massachusetts
New data from the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard shows Omicron has displaced the once-dominant Delta variant in Massachusetts.
Omicron now accounts for 95 percent of the COVID-19 cases analyzed by Broad researchers through January 2, said Bronwyn MacInnis, director of pathogen genomic surveillance at the Broad.
That’s up significantly from Dec. 23, when the researchers found that Omicron accounted for about 75 percent of the COVID cases in Massachusetts.
“We have been over 90 percent Omicron since around Dec. 28th,” MacInnis said.
Broad researchers have been using new technology, called mCARMEN, that allows them to greatly speed up the process, analyzing snippets of the virus for Omicron’s fingerprint from a few hundred samples at a time. This method produces results in a day rather than the week or more that full genomic sequencing takes.
“One question we have is, will Omicron completely replace Delta, or will there be residual Delta?,” MacInnis said. “Are there isolated cases here and there or particular populations that are somehow more susceptible?’
Omicron is similarly muscling out Delta across the country, the latest data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention show. Omicron accounts for more than 90 percent of cases in all regions of the country, except for the heartland — Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, and Nebraska — where it accounts for 77 percent, and in the six New England states, where it makes up 82 percent of cases sequenced through Jan 1.
Nathan Grubaugh, an epidemiologist at the Yale School of Public Health who tracks Omicron through outpatient samples at Yale New Haven Hospital, has also seen the variant rise to about 95 percent of cases in the New Haven area. In a series of Tweets, he predicted that Omicron would eventually push out Delta in his region but that Delta was still hanging on, “likely due to the very high transmission through the holidays.”

Omicron 占马萨诸塞州 COVID-19 病例的 95%
来自麻省理工学院和哈佛博德研究所的新数据显示,Omicron 已经取代了马萨诸塞州曾经占主导地位的 Delta 变体。
Broad 的病原体基因组监测主任 Bronwyn MacInnis 说,Omicron 现在占 Broad 研究人员截至 1 月 2 日分析的 COVID-19 病例的 95%。
这比 12 月 23 日显着增加,当时研究人员发现 Omicron 占马萨诸塞州 COVID 病例的约 75%。
“自 12 月 28 日左右以来,我们已经超过 90% 的 Omicron,”MacInnis 说。
广泛的研究人员一直在使用名为 mCARMEN 的新技术,这使他们能够大大加快这一过程,一次从几百个样本中分析 Omicron 指纹的病毒片段。这种方法在一天内产生结果,而不是 完整基因组测序所需的一周或更长时间。
“我们面临的一个问题是,Omicron 会完全取代 Delta,还是会有残留的 Delta?”MacInnis 说。“这里和那里是否有孤立的病例或某些特定人群更容易受到影响?”
美国疾病控制与预防中心的最新数据显示,Omicron 也在全国范围内扩张 Delta 。 Omicron 占该国所有地区 90% 以上的病例,除了中心地带——爱荷华州、堪萨斯州、密苏里州和内布拉斯加州——占 77%,在新英格兰的六个州占 82%截至 1 月 1 日测序的病例百分比。
耶鲁大学公共卫生学院的流行病学家 Nathan Grubaugh 通过耶鲁纽黑文医院的门诊样本追踪 Omicron,他也发现这种变异上升到纽黑文地区约 95% 的病例。在一系列推文中,他预测 Omicron 最终会在他所在的地区push out Delta,但 Delta 仍在坚持,“可能是由于假期期间的高传播率。”
