I think you're both right, but sort-of arguing different issues. Here's two points: * Covid deaths per-day are at-or-near their highest ever levels * the current wave is less dangerous These sound contradictory, but aren't: deaths are high, death rates aren't -- if you catch Covid you're more likely to survive than ever before, but you're also more likely to catch Covid. This is because we're (currently) in a wave of a high-infection low-mortality variant.
