Razones por la que deberíamos prestar atención a la variante de #SARSCoV2 #B117:

Ya ha sido identificada en todos los continentes, y al paso que va (50%) será la más prevalente en #Europa. Dicho esto debemos preocuparnos. (1/n)
Es importante identificar la #transmision #criptica (mucha gente infectada sin síntomas) esto lo observamos en una estudio hecho en #RD (niños y jóvenes/sin síntomas/ni morbilidades: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P… (2/n)
El continuo de transmisión aumenta la variabilidad del virus (mutaciones) Aprox. ciclos de ~15 días, incluso podrían #seleccionarse mutaciones que no representaban mucha importancia en su #transmisibilidad. (3/n)

YES! Just published article "The Bureaucratic Burden of Identifying your Rapist and Remaining “Cooperative”: What the Sexual Assault Kit Initiative Tells us about Sexual Assault Case Attrition and Outcomes." Full-text link. @BegunCenter @SAKInitiative

/2 Main Qs: We know kits weren't tested but why didn't these cases result in holding the offender accountable? When did these cases fail to proceed in the criminal justice process and why?
3/ Findings: 1) Most "closed" very early in the process. Soon after reporting, soon after the assault. 2) Most were minimally investigated. 3) Most closed before detectives interviewed victims.

I don't know, but I suspect it is an artifact of the way that some #tests are (still) being counted as "#processed" when they are sent out by #Pillar2 👇

Plus, in terms of what people are experiencing on the ground, there's a missing metric - i.e. how many test #kits are #available.

You'd imagine at this point that number would significantly exceed lab #capacity but, were that the case, why 'ration' them by sending people...
...several hundred miles to be tested?

That implies logistical / supply chain issues (as well) - and certainly gives lie to any claim that whatever #predictive #models they're using for distribution are working.

Hmm. Is "#Moonshot" implicit acknowledgement of this?

So proud to be connected to the impressive work of the Task Force. 800 indictments! @ProsMikeOMalley @SAKInitiative cleveland.com/court-justice/…
2/ So many lessons to be learned from this. But the sheer political will to see this thru...many victims finally got justice, our community is safer, and it has saved our community money @BegunCenter
3/ For more info on cost savings, see our 2016 research: digital.case.edu/islandora/obje…. Updated #s are coming (the peer-review process takes forever!). For more info on other lessons learned, see (digital.case.edu/islandora/obje….
