No one is being diagnosed with the delta variant, or any other variant. Routine tests that individuals receive to determine whether they have COVID-19 do not reveal whether the disease was caused by the delta variant.
But through what is known as genomic sequencing, public health officials examine samples of cases to estimate what percentage were caused by delta.
Genomic sequencing from a positive test sample, said Stephen Morse, professor of epidemiology at Columbia University Medical Center, "would tell you unequivocally what variant infected that person."
It's simple, they claim it's spreading, every week or so they update their estimate of delta's spread, 20%, 35%, 60%, etc. Then they move the cycles up on the PCR tests so cases shoot up (remember it's exponential so even moving from say 28 to 29 could be a huge difference).

I love the “I don’t understand something, haven’t taken any time to learn about it, but what I am saying must be true” threads. Thanks for another one.
Find me any lab anywhere that has isolated any sars-cov2 variant to determine it's complete genome accurately, that any other lab could do the same and get the same results.
The genome testing they do is looking for like 6 or 8 sets of like 30-40 gene pairs when a virus has 30,000.

1. The virus does not have gene pairs. It is an Retrovirus and yes modern testing with a machine can do this.

Some of these are more "As long I can pretend to not understand something very basic, I can get the validation I need to retain my preconceived notions", as far as I can tell.
