Delta variant 1,000x more viral load than previous variants, but cases have fallen off the cliff in the past few days
Here is the good news from the UK :
Even with this surge of new cases, there's no need to panic. Does this graph warrant mandate shots? :

And let's be grateful for this drop in numbers over the weekend, without a lockdown. I agree this is "very encouraging": coronavirus.data.gov.uk...

And sadly?
People used to die from complications from the cold virus. The elderly and immune compromised especially.
And covid is a coronavirus.
I know you have been banging that drum for a long time, your instinct and intelligence were correct.
I'd love to take credit but I work with some really smart people.

The "life cycle" of any successful virus is to attenuate or weaken so that it can still spread but won't kill the host.
If it kills the host, it cannot spread so the successful mutations are actually weaker versions of the virus.
Basically, we're pissing ourselves over a cold virus now.
