Isn’t it a part of the story? Fewer people need to be admitted? (So again, less severe symptoms overall.) But of course this may be largely explained by a different age structure of those infected and so on.

Actually, I think the argument is the other way round. As health system wasn't strained during summer months anymore, people could get ICU beds easier, hence their average health was better and hence mortality of ICU admitted patients dropped.

Early reports I saw said Dex maybe saves 1 in 6 critical, but they have to be given it, are those who could benefit consistently given it? How many don't make it into hospital to get given it? How much Dex given out in care homes, say?

Hopefully lessons learned on ventilator protocols and damage from high PEEP in Spring are being applied elsewhere, and less invasive oxygen support used more where appropriate. But in the areas which weren't hit hard in Spring, have the lessons been learned?
