hey take a certain # of positive tests & do further testing & determine the majority variant
They then extrapolate that data for a region…
That’s how I understand it works, could be wrong

Fairly accurate except that most hospitals don’t send any out. It cost time and money for a geneticist to perform a full genome sequence on a positive specimen

It was the same thing with delta they didn’t have a fricking clue who had it and who didn’t. Delta first appeared in the U.S almost a year before you started hearing about it on the news

Employee Health has extended their hours to 7 a.m. – 5 p.m., 7 days a week.
Reminder: as essential personnel, we do not quarantine with exposure.
Isolation period remains 10 days if positive, despite vaccination status.
If you receive a positive test, employees are also eligible to enroll in Ochsner’s free self-care and symptom monitoring program in MyOchsner.

So what happens when one of these positive nurses gives a cancer patient Covid & it kills them?


It’s alright Joe Biden has a plan…you’ll be receiving a rapid home testing kit w/ no direction if you test positive or negative and a test kit that is deemed totally unreliable by the CDC itself. Not to mention the Omicron surge will be over before one of those test kits is ready to be shipped, but don’t despair the Biden Administration is prepared to purchase millions of test kits from a multinational that was just purchased by principal investors George Soros & Bill Gates.
Guess who owns the new rapid home test kits?

they have been tracking patients that aquired covid after admission for a while, that is code for getting it after being hospitalized. it's been a super quiet truth for a good while. was poking around one of the cdc charts and came across it.

So…do they actually have tests that tell you what variant you have


Does such a test exist in perfect lab conditions? Yes.

Massively available test like that? Absolutely not. Most tests can’t distinguish between Coronaviruses and Orthomyxoviridae(flu) much less specific types of coronaviruses.

So I don’t understand. I know that they sample a bunch and get the variant that it’s lilely to be .. but how can they know for sure that they won’t allow an employee to kill grandma??

This is all such bullshite.

They’d rather this than admit they were wrong.

Several hospitals had been telling their employees to show up unless they were showing symptoms.


I know of at least 2 in the Houston area that is telling covid-positive nurses to come to work if they are asymptomatic.

I'm all for it.

I worked in administration for Ochsner and it's the worst healthcare provider in the southern US. The monopolized healthcare in Louisiana and have the nerve to send emails to patients asking them to contribute to doctors and nurses salary. Warner Thomas is a true piece of garbage.
