If you test positive, most tests won't tell you what strain of the virus you have, said Dr. David Winter, Director of Internal Medicine at Baylor Scott & White hospital in Dallas.
"We don't always know [the variant] when we do the regular tests," Winter said. "We do that in epidemiological studies ... The routine testing for COVID-19 will just tell you if you have the coronavirus. It doesn't tell you what strain you might have."
Health officials are able to identify COVID-19 strains through genetic sequencing, a process different from a standard COVID-19 test.
For example, earlier this month, Parkland's chief medical officer, Dr. Joe Chang, estimated that 30-40% of new COVID-19 cases in North Texas were of the delta variant. But that was an estimate because, as Chang explained, it would be impractical for Parkland to test every COVID-19 test for genetic sequencing to identify the specific variant.

WRONG AGAIN!!!...cdc cant even do simple math...and u believe these people??
One of the state’s leading epidemiologists said it appears the federal agency made a simple math error.
“It appears the CDC divided by two instead of three,” said Jason Salemi, an epidemiologist at the University of South Florida, who runs one of the most comprehensive and closely watched COVID-19 trackers in the state
Kheid —- how about the rest of the report you used ???
Well here - I’ll post if for you
….” But, Florida has consistently reported more new cases than any other state in the nation although Louisiana, which has tallied 810 cases per 100,000 residents, has topped the Sunshine State in terms of per capita infections.
Even though Florida is second to Louisiana in that category, the number of state residents stricken with the highly contagious respiratory disease continues to soar.”
So Kheid …” I was NOT wrong - youre just SNEAKY.

People dying from COVID because they made bad decisions about the vaccine .

That might be 100% factual, but it was their choice. I'm sure they regretted it before they died. My point is it was THEIR choice, not some political hack someplace telling them what they can or cannot do. It's none of their business.
Should we ban all cars because tens of thousands die each year on the highways? And hundreds (thousands?) die from drownings each year so lets get rid of all backyard pools and ban people from the beaches and lakes. I hope you see my point.
Good news latest…..3rd shot as booster expected to provide near full protection……
Bad news…..hospitals in high “ no vaccine regions” full with covid sick ….no room to assists others needed assorted med care.
Get the vaccines - don’t be selfish.
We can beat this thing…..except for the many with covid long haulers illnesses that have development from covid affecting CNS, heart, brain, kidneys, skin, and other illnesses . Very sad.

Ones that worked and were around for years. This time its my choice. Just like we still have a choice to drive a prius or an f350, ride a motorcycle, buy a gun, eat at fast foods, go to the gym, go to the amusement park.
I only know of a handful of people that have had covid in the last month. One was vaccinated. They all survived, just like the flu. My nieghbors mom died from the shot.
I work alone, my wife stays home and helps my son with cyber school. Im not around people much. and we are all heathy, no need for the shot. Not sure how long the antibodies last. We had the kung flu before.
I think its the vaccinated people that are spreading it. Think they cant get it or give it to someone else. It makes the symptoms less and they dont even know they have it, them pass it on. But thats my opinion and I know mine has to be the same as yours or you will argue and put some cnn news link up.
You can get your shots if you want, I will not.

The masks reduce the risk of spread.
The vaccine greatly reduces extent of illness and reduces hospitalizations - so theres more room for people with other health needs. Thats not good enough for you correct thats your selfish business.
Regarding COVID statistics , over 740,000 Americans DEAD from COVID.
Only 3-4 cases of death from the over 300 million vaccines administered to Americans so far.
Vaccines are saving lives.

Not what I do sir - I did the right thing for myself and for others to help limit the spread of COVID. I suspect the families of the 740,000 Americans that died from COVID appreciate those simple measures. Might show some respect .
Why do you have to attack people for having their own opinion? If you want the shot and all the boosters then go get them. Incase you havent talked to people they are still getting and spreading covid with the shot. It dosent make you immune and you can still spread it. I though you were the facts guy? No I dont want a news story from the enquirer to look at. I talk to my friends and family. Some work at hospitals and nursing homes.
Let everyone have their own opinion and stop being a jerk about everything.

Otep or oreol ….anyway you try to diminish me by suggesting I post from poor sources of news.
Well that not true because I’ve provided FACTS from many sources most of which you discredit because you don’t want to deal with TRUTH.
FACT is proven wearing masks has reduced the COVID spread and the vaccine greatly reduces most all cases from requiring hospitalization.
This is not OPINION it’s FACT.
And by the way I’m not a jerk as you refer to me.
I mostly do the RIGHT thing when called upon to help and simple mask and vaccine helps.
So go get your shine box.
COVID update:
Surge in DEATHS among the unvaccinated and only partially vaccinated .

Actually, well over 19,000 people have died after receiving one of the 3 different brands of vaccines. Let me stress that NOT all of those deaths are directly attributable to the vaccine. Some might be from underlying health reasons, both known or unknown. But the VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System) reporting doesn't lie on the numbers.
.
Actually deaths from the vaccine are as follows:
Between December 2020 and July 19th, 2021, VAERS received 6,207 reports of death (0.0018% of doses) among people who got a vaccine, but this does not mean the vaccine caused these deaths.
Doctors and safety monitors carefully review the details of each case to see if it might be linked to the vaccine. There are three deaths that appear to be linked to blood clots that occurred after people got the J&J vaccine. Since we now know how to correctly treat people who develop these blood clots, future deaths related to this very rare side effect can be prevented
