How are variants identified in a clinical setting and at what sample rate?
Clinically omicron looks different then delta. One is a URI one is an LRI. Much different clinical look. Radiology is different as well. Of the cases I saw positive this past week, two were sick and looks like delta and about 50 were mild or asymptomatic and tested for other reasons. Then I did the simple math.
But seriously they are much different clinical presentations.
