They can't actually tell the variants apart with standard testing, they can't even differentiate between covid and the flu.....
The only way to determine what variant it is, is to do a full genomic sequencing on a sample. Only specific labs have this ability and their capacity is limited.
I can't find any whole genome sequencing reports. It is very frustrating. I can only find reports that pull genetic data from databases (GISAID e.g.). Until I find some real experimental reports, I will not believe in any "variants of concern".
This is the correct attitude. Further, its quite interesting when you looked the fact that NO virus has ever been successfully and fully isolated in a lab.
Yes, What OregonAngel2 says. Called molecular arms race.
LOL!
The new variant outcompetes the old one, and the old one then goes extinct. For example, Alpha is pretty much extinct except for in labs.
Prove it. I can't find any reasonable evidence of such evolution and destruction. As far as I can tell, that is dogma and not based on evidence.
Not to say its untrue. I am asking for some sort of evidence that the "party line" is based on actual measurement data. I want WGS, not "failed PCR tests for the S-protein" which is how the WHO classifies Omicron.
Valid question.
I have seen data published by reliable sources that show the % of various variants rising and falling. Alpha is extinct.
Sorry I don't have time to look it up for you right now. I hope to do it later.
Yes, the phylogenetic tree I have seen. What I am looking for is actual WGS experimental reports. Like, not just statements that its been done, but an actual, honest to goodness report, with the extraction and isolation technique (fraction used), the method of sequencing used, the analytics used, the whole shebang.
I myself have written up such reports. I know exactly what I'm looking for. I can't find those reports. I can only find reports that say they are taking data from databases (GISAID e.g.), which I can look up myself.
I can find all sorts of models, I can't find experimental reports. I want the actual lab reports. I can't find any.
I don't know if its because there is just so much noise, or if those reports don't exist.

When a line goes to the right and then stops in a dot, it is extinct in the wild.
