Experts stumped as deadly Delta variant not very deadly

Yet.

That's the trouble with predicting the future. Things could take a turn.

As you saw in my previous epistle, during previous covid waves the death curve lags the case curve by 1-2 weeks. That makes sense from what we know about the course of the disease. 

We are now six weeks into the fourth wave. The case curve has exploded in a luscious upward arc, from under 400 per day to well over 3,400. Meanwhile, the death curve lies flat on the mat.

But that doesn't mean it won't get up and boogie tomorrow.
