Further to Fly's post with his link to the medical expert in the USA, you can form your own opinion on the contents of that interview but this ABC news link above does seem to support at least one aspect of that interview in suggesting that while the Delta variant spreads quicker the first data in a study from the UK is showing the mortality rate lower only 0.3 and the symptoms less severe and more in line with a bad cold. Early days as the article suggest and I'm no medical expert but if that trend continues you would have to question our approach in terms of vaccines/lockdowns and if indeed the virus is starting to mutate itself to a safer livable level. Just read that half the recent deaths in England of Covid19 were people who had been vaccinated. Its confusing with conflicting data/opinions to make informed decisions...
