"And, go ahead and sequence the results of our PCR to see if you can get covid sequences out of it. " Absolutely. If your hypothesis and/or data flies in the face of all (other) available data, you should leave no stone unturned to prove you are right. Actually showing that the amplified material is in fact COVID sequence would be just one very simple step in doing that. It's been a while, but the cost is about $200 and the time is about 24 hrs to purify and sequence an amplified product? It's quite telling that they didn't bother and/or didn't report the (likely negative result).
