It just seems incredibly unlikely for it to not be omnicron given it is everywhere.

I don't know if it is true or not, but I read somewhere that omicron hits the throat more (which is why more people have sore throats with it than they did Delta) and that the nasal antigen tests aren't good at detecting it in early stages.
I know a lot of people, myself included, who did the quick test or home test nasal swab early when not feeling well and it was negative, only to have a positive antigen or pcr result days later.
