Huh? I though Omicron was particularly obvious on a PCR test (spike-negative but virus-positive).
- orra 5y agoIndeed, it can very easily be identified due to some gene deletion.
- tdrdt 5y agoI am not saying the PCR-tests are false. See my added example.
- Reason077 5y agoNot all Covid PCR tests target the S-gene. The cheap RT-PCR test I took recently in London (for travel) targeted only the E-gene and ORF1ab sequences, so if it had been positive it wouldn't have told me if it were Omicron or not.
