      Speaking of which, and not just because of the shape of these curves in multiple countries, but significantly shorter serial interval for Delta has a pretty strong case, no? (cc:@wanderer_jasnah and @dylanhmorris)

          Hopefully this indicates we're farther into Delta than we may believe

          Probably doesn't mean that. Peak is too early for it to be immunity.

          Looking across Europe, I am strongly convinced now this is the same basic pattern everywhere, the only difference being the heavily vaccinated countries get off *way* more likely and the unvaccinated ones don’t.

          Still quite curious to hear what the presumed cause/mechanism is here -https://twitter.com/iansmcleod/status/1419686786331201547 …

          What is the presumed/speculated mechanism here? Burns through vulnerable populations? Delayed reaction to voluntary changes in behavior? Both? If it's behavior related then we seem doomed to bounce between danger, retrenchment, relaxation and then danger again.

          think it's easiest with a picture: essentially, the hypothesis (with quite a lot of good evidence, imho) is that the time between infections is shorter & so outbreaks are "faster" in a sense. pic.twitter.com/q5KBNLhopC
