Quote:Is Delta more deadly?
The WHO says this variant of concern has an increased risk of hospitalisation. This is unsurprising because increased transmissibility could go hand-in-hand with case severity until most of the world’s population is vaccinated.
A study from February to June in Canada, yet to be peer-reviewed, compared non-variants of concern with Delta. It found people infected with the Delta variant were:
105% more likely to be hospitalised
241% more likely to be admitted to an intensive care unit
121% more likely to die from the disease.
For the other three variants of concern, these values were 52%, 89% and 51% respectively.
This shows the Delta is the most problematic variant of concern to date.

In a month's time,  when cricket season starts,  I predict that the first ball in Port Vs. Queenscliffe C grade...well the batsman wont be stepping forwards.
