IM Twitter has been charting most countries case rise, specifically Germany who's been using n95s and cases are hundreds of percent higher... As we've learned science and data mean nothing to these people 🥴

Maybe in Germany´s case they´re resorting to a semi-scam which is going on, for what I know, here in Spain: As the Omicron variant has as a peculiarity the lack of spikes or a decrease in its number, the tests are first taking into account whether the sample has spikes or not. If it does have them, it goes to the Sars-CoV-2´s other variants "box". If it does not, it is directly tagged as Sars-CoV-2, Omicron variant, without searching for the other two parameters, nucleocapsid and envelope, that could confirm it... Which is totally nuts, since other viruses don´t have spikes yet. So how many non-Covid related are being diagnosed as Covid?
