Yes, it seems to me like the lessened severity must necessarily be some combination of:
1) Improved immunity (vax and/or recovery)
2) Improved treatment
3) Virus evolution
What else could it be (not rhetorical)?

- GeekyBear 5y agoThe UK's socialized medical system tracks the percentage of their population that already has Covid antibodies in their system, either via vaccination or a prior infection, or both. As of a month ago, about 99% of their population has Covid antibodies. I doubt things are very different here. https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/healthandsocialcare/conditionsanddiseases/articles/coronaviruscovid19latestinsights/antibodies https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/healthan...

- lostmsu 5y agoIs the severity lessened much though? There were more deaths during the last wave, than during any previous wave.
- rory 5y agoTrue. Either severity lessened, or social distancing was largely useless. I'm pretty confident it's the former, but that assumption is implicit to my comment above.
