They mean there is one cheap easy test that can detect Covid, but not tell you what kind of covid it is and then another more expensive harder test that can also tell you what kind it is.
They only do the harder test with random sampling to see what % is what type in an area. They do the easy test to see how much covid there is of all types.
I still do not trust their numbers for other reasons, but what the are saying about the tests sounds legit to me.
If there's a surge in total Covid cases, and WGS confirms that Delta is showing up in that area, then they assume that Delta is causing the surge. It's not like it really matters, in the end. I don't know why we're obsessing so much over which sub strain of this weird cold is making people cough and lose their taste for a couple of days.
Exactly! They have no idea. Just more fear mongering.
Statistical models. It’s all “theoretical”.

Much like the global warming models... cherry pick info and extrapolate it out to meet your agenda / narrative.

Just shut up and put on your mask. ( .v. ) Stop causing trouble with all your questions. No job for you! /s
They’re pulling them out of their butts, along with their so called ‘rona filled farts.
