I looked at my platoon sergeant. “Staff sergeant?” “Yes, Finelli?” “Why are the private companies driving around in these things and not the Marine Corps?” He looked at me and gave the universal sign for money, rubbing together his thumb and forefinger.

National and international health officials need to know how the virus is circulating to assess the state of an outbreak and respond. Experts sequence various cases to learn the rate at which each variant is circulating, the impact it has on therapeutics and vaccines, and the severity of disease it causes. However, this information is rarely shared on a case-by-case basis. Part of the reason individuals usually don’t know which variant caused their positive test is that sequencing isn’t done where a person is tested....
