Does the “Delta” strain “attach to” (don’t know the right term) the same “ACE-2” receptor?

Not sure you know, but thought I’d ask.

There is little science in today’s hysteria, but Delta has been described as more contagious, and I have found no explanation.

Yes, all the variants use that same method to infect the cell.
