Breakthrough case close to home

He’s going for a rapid PCR today at 2:30. I’m fine he seems over it. I’m still avoiding him until I get a negative PCR from him. Monday at 2:30 I’ll have my 6th vaccine.

Are you eligible for that prophylactic that Jolly posted last week?

He was PCR negative today. It’s either gone or the 12/26 test was a false positive. The former is more likely, the home test he used has a 98+% specificity, 86%. IOW, false positives are much less common than false negatives, by 7-10x.

Likelihood of 12/26 being a false positive is remote. He had Omicron. And cleared it really fast.
Now, what I don't have a clue about, is the viability of Omicron on fomites.

Yeah that seems the most likely explanation
