But, that is NOT to say it is not deadly. Also, there is a case to be made that when no one was vaccinated more died than since there are so many vacinated.

What I was trying to say is that the comparisons are between deaths in the most recent weeks, where the Delta variant became dominant, and PRIOR weeks. Also, hospitalizations compared weeks to weeks. I did NOT mean to compare ratios of deaths to hospitalizations. That ratio has been slowly decreasing in the past due to better hospital techniques and experiences. Sorry for the lack of clarity!
