The data on severity is still difficult to transfer across countries. What seems reasonably certain is that vaccinations and previous infections do protect reasonably well against hospitalization and death. It is still not clear how the unvaccinated and not infected will fare.
And the speed of this variant is enormous. We're seeing a doubling time between 2 to 3 days in several countries like Denmark or the UK. That is far faster than any previous variant.
- peteradio 5y agoYou gotta be careful with those doubling times. Is that due to the raw number of tests being done increasing substantially? If it is unnormalized raw reported numbers then they can't exactly be used to infer the doubling time without more information. I know this is something everyone must know by now, but you will still see incorrect comparisons in media.
