Maybe it's something unrelated. Or just false negatives. Either way, tragic for the family and the young teen. But if this is a new variant that is going to start wiping out children, we're going to need to step it up. Hopefully the vaccines would work, if that's the case.
AFAIK the variants that they are "unable to test for" will still show a positive COVID test, but there is no further test that will say that it is a specific variant.
