Exponentials, conditional probabilities and shifting denominators are kinda counterintuitive to grasp, but but epidemics and vaccination campaigns through an ongoing epidemic really need all three to wrap one's mind around where we are.

Still, delta is the worst we've seen. If you notice my other thread. I'm still unable to find a way to disbelieve the numbers that are now coming out of India, as per excess deaths. Both transmissibility and severity look much higher. But the great threat is to the unvaccinated.

Okay, so people in rural India changed their behavior so much that they have 42x their regular excess deaths in a single month, happens to coincide with the rise of this variant that does that elsewhere, magically dominate exactly when people drastically change their behavior.

Totally convinced, someone can also say correlation isn't causation and we can call it a day here.

That sentence shouldn’t give you pause with regard to your original question. Both sentences are true, in general, and completely irrelevant to denying the increased severity from Delta.
