Forgive my potential ignorance, but how does one know if they have regular OG Covid or if they have this alleged Delta variant?

Is there some sort of test?

And are we completely sure this isn’t a similar but completely different virus made in China?

They take swabs and sequence them after the fact.

People don’t know in the moment what variant the person is infected with.

Our public officials can tell the public how many people are getting delta, etc etc, but the doctors can’t personally tell you what strain you have. I had covid late May early June, and want to know what strain I had.

I have a question about this as well. Why is it called Delta? What happened to Alpha, Beta and Gamma?

Delta is from India, not China.

Seems to me like the Chinese released this delta as a modified version to get those that had immunity to the first one
