Good post! I bet most people think that Delta shows up when people are tested so they don't ask the question: How are they distinguishing Delta from original COVID? Answer: Just a few small sample studies are being used to reach conclusions on the Delta variant.
I gave up on finding information on Delta variant research studies. Most articles don't reference how they come to conclusions distinguishing Delta from the original. I would think this is an important thing to know and reference sources in articles. Today's "Journalists" suck!
Example. This article doesn't list sources.

According to the CDC, more than 90% of COVID cases in the U.S. are currently caused by the delta variant

And this is all I could find:

In July 2021, following multiple large public events in a Barnstable County, Massachusetts, town, 469 COVID-19 cases were identified among Massachusetts residents who had traveled to the town during July 3–17; 346 (74%) occurred in fully vaccinated persons. Testing identified the Delta variant in 90% of specimens from 133 patients. Cycle threshold values were similar among specimens from patients who were fully vaccinated and those who were not.

From what I gather, Doctors discern the Delta variant by symptoms.
