What sort of test were you able to get to determine that your kids' cases were of the omicron variant?
- mizzack 5y agoGuessing based entirely on symptoms, onset time across the household, and community prevalence.
- abakker 5y agoGuessing sounds like really good public health policy.
- nradov 5y agoYou can make a fairly accurate guess based on estimated infection date. CDC data shows that the Omicron variant has caused the majority of cases for the past 2 weeks. https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#nowcasting https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#nowcasting
- gshubert17 5y agoDon't know about the OP, but in my state currently, close to 100% of the cases are omicron based on the samples they've sequenced. If I get covid next week, odds are it'll be the omicron variant.
