Are they able to determine the variant with your run of the mill test? Are just assuming all the new cases are this type? Maybe someone can explain this. It’s almost like they give out just enough vague information for people to assume the worst.

Why? Only nerds spend Saturday night reading data.

Google covid cases
Just compare new cases/deaths from last summers spike to current spike.
Need another week or two but the deaths certainly don't appear to be following new cases.
Note: link is for my county. You can filter how you want.

Hm. Not sure its really that easy at this point.
Is the Delta variant less severe or that the percentage of people having severe symptoms less due to prior infections and recovery?

I'm with you.
At a 99.6% survival rate and the eradication of the flu, it's hard to fathom this being less severe than the first round.

They are probably sampling tests to sequence which variant it is. You may sample 100/1000. If 85% of those come out Delta it's pretty safe to assume the rest.
This is how a lot of audits are done, for example, audits of health care claims processing accuracy.

Didn’t the UK data indicate the survivability is 99.8%?

You don’t have to wait; just go look at the UK.

No link, just anecdotal.
I work on a covid unit at a psych hospital. Last year people were very sick and we had some deaths.. Just had a new wave come in and all have little to no symptoms. Most but not all have been vaccinated but no difference in degree of illness with the unvaccinated.
It is expected that a virus will mutate as covid has. When it mutates it becomes more contagious but less severe. I expect this trend to continue until it becomes part of the cold family as Sars and Mers have.

You can come here and ask the question or go to Facebook and ask the question or go to CDC.gov and educate yourself. But, that involves some work.

People here who’ve been told they have covid said that were just told covid — others have said that walk in clinics can’t tell that from the test.

I was out running errands and “needed” it. Folks here are usually pretty quick on the gun with this stuff
I checked online stats.
According to NYT. Cases are up 172%, hospitalizations are up 59% and deaths only 19%.
So yeah, less severe.

Hit piece on NPR last week. Delta is all we seeing and it is
- More infectious
- Produces more virus to go spread
- affecting young kids now
- much more deadly
Like a bad episode 2 we all knew they would use..

I was trying to put some numbers together for Louisiana, but there's no quick download of data available. I will say that there's been no spike of deaths so far. The largest number of deaths in a single day this month is 12. June, May, and April had similar numbers. Haven't seen a death spike yet.
