2/ As a clinician & public health researcher, I think that testing — especially decentralizing this as much as possible such that people can pick up kits, swab suspected lesions, & drop samples off through safe collection sites, will be key to controlling this outbreak.
3/ What is also tough here are cases that don’t have visible lesions; on prior CDC clinician call noted some cases only had proctitis; & others had no viral prodrome, so they didn’t know they were sick until later. This makes controlling transmission difficult
4/ Working within communities to get both vaccines & tests out — actually implementing this— is crucial & definitely more than half the battle.
Understanding more about transmission dynamics also really important; yes close contact but w/ a more transmissible strain, what

5/ does this look like in real world during this specific outbreak?
Need to be able to advise people accordingly — & early messaging shapes a lot around what happens later, as we saw w covid19
