The Delta virus has a different protein chain and the spiker smaller which is why younger people come up particularly children, are more susceptible to it over version one. It is the same variants as chickenpox, the R naught is about 8.5.

That said, even though it's more virulent, and people are getting sicker from it, for 99.9% of the people who get it, it's really no worse.
