If you have been vaccinated and catch Delta you have about a 98 percent chance of surviving the virus. This is why the number of deaths is not as high as the last spring.


Only a 98% chance of surviving?

You realize you have a 99.8% chance of surviving covid even if you aren't vaccinated? Your number can't be correct.

Your figure of 99.8 percent is the number in question. We have examples of underreporting, some intentional and or unintentional that could affect the percentage. In the figure I posted, it was a sample size from one month which leaves less room for error. For instance, we know many early statistics were inaccurate as some covid deaths happened prior to the world knowing we faced a pandemic.
