More infectious does not mean more dangerous. It just means we reach herd immunity quicker.

@cheryldeboissiere7824 lol really please check your facts. Natural immunity supported by vaccines for many diseases, is absolutely the fastest way to achieve herd immunity and there is even an argument to suggest overall it is faster albeit perhaps with a higher mortality rate. PS. I'm English.

@jonsid6628 that's a fair point Jon but so far these variants generally haven't led to more hospitalisations. In fact hospital admissions are falling in most places as we move out of winter.

@jonsid6628 lol a clever play on words but I did mean "because". Graphs showing peaks and falls across the western world regardless of lockdown or not and regardless of vaccine or not are following similar patterns.
