Does anyone know how they determine Delta variants?

Posted on 07/28/2021 8:52:33 AM PDT by MNDude

I understand that they (medical industry) must be able to see virus differences under electron microscopes, but I'm curious how it is possible to determine tens of thousands cases.

Does anyone understand the science for determining the variants of local viruses?

When they get to Omega, the “vaccine” is strychnine, so you don’t have to worry about the Cyrillic alphabet. :)

The Chinese Commies must be laughing their heads off at what they pulled on America. Not only did they create a bioweapon that infected millions and crippled our economy, but it also has us running around in hysterical circles unable to think or do anything effective. Meanwhile, they go merrily along on their path to world domination.

The "lambda" variant is the new Peru variant that is in South America. The Delta variant is the India variant. The alpha variant is the UK variant.

Politically correct activists demanded that they stop calling the virus by the place where it was first discovered because they didn't like the China virus.

And what is the difference between a “variant” vs a “strain”?

“Variant” sounds scarier.

They make it up, like pretty much everything else having to do with “duh COVID”.

Different symptoms. For one, less chance of losing sense of smell. Sore throat and runny nose are common.

Total BS! They can’t even distinguish between the flu and COVID. Much less a different variety of COVID.

The millions of cases of the Flu along with it’s hospitalizations and tens of thousands of deaths has disappear. I call BS!

A compounding rate or return. Total comedy on their end.

Corona viruses are colds. Flu is different

“Does the “Delta” strain “attach to” (don’t know the right term) the same “ACE-2” receptor?…”
*****************************************************************
Yes, all the variants use that same method to infect the cell.

Why is the flu deaths and hospitalizations near zero? The flu did not magically disappear.

In an average year there are over a billion cases of the common cold in America.

Apparently there are a lot of “summer colds” going around now that we’ve ventured out of our homes and shed the masks as we congregate in closer quarters. Baseball stadiums, concert venues, etc are packed now so colds are proliferating. I hope they’re not calling these “Covid cases”, but they probably are because it fits perfectly into their political agenda.

COVID-19 is a perfect bioweapon that can be politically weaponized by the facilitators of the Great Reset. We’re in terrible danger here, and it’s not from a virus with a 99.8% survival rate. It’s from Soros and his many minions down the line to Biden and the Democrat Party.

This doctor does. He explains:

The PCR has been useless since it inception on testing for COVID. All flu cases for the year have been folded into COVID.

https://californiaglobe.com/section-2/cdc-pulls-pcr-tests-because-they-cant-differentiate-between-covid-and-flu-california-news-silent/

Notice the Flu was near zero for the last year (under 1% from some months almost 8%).

I strain to varying degrees during my morning business....

Poop will shoot right out...

As my old aunt used to say, “No pain, no strain, just sit there and drain.”

Other questions, that I believe are worse; How do you know you need to create a new test to detect a new variant? (is every test being put through some AI imaging system to detect some ‘change’?) Once detected, how is a new test “magically” immediately available? How is this possible if COVID tests can’t differentiate between COVID and the flu? Does each sample go through the different tests?

And - how is any of this possible when the PCR tests were being amplified to the point of providing high levels of false positives?

IMO - NONE of this makes any sense whatsoever.

Considering your screenname is Fuzzy Logic, I thought this was funny. And yes, I know what fuzzy logic is... ;)

You don't need a new test to determine it's some variant of SARS CoV-2.

Some percentage of positive samples are further genetically sequenced to monitor spread of mutations.

It's the same sequencing technology and you just compare the outputs to see where the sample virus sits in the mutation tree.

A sample is collected from a subject and it is sent in to a lab and genetically sequenced

“For cases with a known RT-PCR cycle threshold (Ct) value, submit only specimens with Ct value ≤28 to CDC for sequencing. (Sequencing is not feasible with higher Ct values.)”

https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/covid-19/health-departments/breakthrough-cases.html

Its under For State Health Departments in drop down menu 3/4 down the page

Yes if you are a red state they tell you that’s what you have and you will be shut down for the 2022 election.
