Is there a test that identifies Delta variant, Delta plus, etc.? How are the people who have these variants being tested?

these spike proteins latch onto human cells with the external bumps that are found on the virus...

All viruses “latch on” to host cells. The article makes this sounds like the behavior is something unique.

So, you now will be getting infected through the skin, and not just the nose or mouth.
The only protection then, against the delta plus variant, will be a full body plastic, or full-body condom.

I thought the spike proteins of all the “variants” latched onto the cell.

This would suggest to me that antibodies to the specific spike protein could malfunction when the spike protein no longer has the same sequences.
Consequently, anyone with natural immunity has antibodies to much more than just the spike, meaning they should be much better off than vaccine-only immunity.
