The risk assessment linked in the summary (attached) - is to be read in conjunction. The information isn't static and will change as more information is known.
There is high confidence in two measures and low confidence in another two.
It's a facile risk assessment to be fair.
The risk assessment is entirely qualitative, not quantitative!
Funny how they have a low confidence in a comment "Delta has at least an equivalent case fatality rate to Alpha" when their own data suggests quite the opposite ie Delta 5x LESS deadly.
The numbers are the numbers - and yes, they will change over time BUT Delta is pretty much 100% now in UK (has been for some time). Alpha numbers are now all but set in stone (as that strain has disappeared).
Finals, then 4 in a row!
