What I don't understand is what metrics they use to "claim" there is different variants. Is it just symptom driven, or do they claim the lab isolated variables? According to them, what makes the delta vs origional? I think if we pick that apart, it may open doors.
If we were to use Wolves and Chihuahuas as an analogy for a virus. A wolf is the baseline and a Chihuahua is the variant. How do they know it's different? Is there a laboratory isolated difference in genetic isolation,shape, and size? Or is it all just based on cataloging symptoms? Such as how bite marks and fatality would differ from each other. I have seen no explanation on what makes the delta variant definable in contrast to the original virus.
