re: Why have the fatalities from the delta variant not increased?

The delta is about 30 percent more contagious than covid 19. If the mortality rate is about the same for both then delta is more dangerous. It really isn't that difficult.

Well, the mortality rate is much lower now. As virus mutate, it's the weaker strains that spread more. Deadlier strains kill hosts and don't spread as far. The virus falls under the same survival of the fittest laws as everything else in nature, and the best adaptations are the ones that let it spread the most.

The weaker strains also provide immunity to the stronger strains if they happen to appear later. That is what vaccines were originally based on.

You are really a prime example of someone who has their mind made up no matter what the truth is and you just keeping looking for ways to make it so.

I guess this time at least you didn't provide a link that debunks your own post.
