Not saying I don't believe it, but AFAIK they aren't performing testing to let you know which variant you caught. Genomic surveillance is done very selectively with less than 2% (last time I checked) of total cases sent out by states for testing to determine which variants are spreading in particular areas of the country. The fact that person specifically said it was a "new variant" leads me to automatically dismiss the tweet.
