very interesting article too bad there's not an update for delta. I'm thinking that throws things off by some significant factor.

This article seems to indicate a double in the number of hostpitalizations from Delta.

Also, be interesting to see how monoclonal antibodies affect the equations.

I would love to make an update for Delta if I could find some solid numbers on the death rate; perhaps it is out there and I haven't found it yet. Also, the monoclonal antibodies seem to be a very interesting factor. I was just helping run a vaccine center in Texas and our partner Regeneron clinic was working overtime. Supposedly 70% successful at keeping people out of the hospitals (but not enough to keep the hospitals from being overwhelmed in Corpus Christi, where I was deployed). Thank you for reading.
