What he got last year no longer exists. The Delta mutation is essentially a different virus.
This is a tricky thing to grasp. We all have been learning stuff from last year . . . only the old are in danger, you have to have comorbidities to die . . . all that stuff.
We have no data on that. Delta has replaced the original strain and quickly. Quickly means not much time has passed to gather stats on who dies. Or goes in the hospital (average stay is 10 days, minimum stay is 3 days, anyone over 10 days will have to go to skilled nursing facility for more weeks before home — because long Covid damages organs all over the body). None of that is free, btw.
And if Delta’s numbers are close to last year’s pre Alpha numbers, well, the over 65 population will have 25% more deaths than in 2017, 2018, 2019.
Delta’s on the decline
