COVID-19 Outbreak Information Updates (Reboot) [over 150.000,000 US cases (est.), 6,422,520 US hospitilizations, 1,148,691 US deaths.]

Does anyone ever get told what variant they have? I know everyone that I know that has caught Covid of late, with formal testing is not told what variant they have.

Thinking out loud it would seem only right to let the individual know, since it is pumped into the brain that Omicron is not bad, so a positive patient goes home and thinks that the worse can be flu like symptoms. This causing the assumption they do not need to follow up with a doctor or perhaps seek a "mab" treatment as "oh well it is Omicron". Essentially a person thinking all is well could end up an ICU or perhaps little too late with death because they thought they had the less severity strain. The CDC did misstep and admit that there were more Delta cases than originally thought at the beginning of the Omicron breakout. Also knowing that only a few "mab" treatments work for Omicron.
