Those are two different measurements.

You have: 1. Chance of getting a disease 2. Chance of dying from said disease once acquired

Both have numerous factors that affect the result.

For someone who works in health care, they're likely subjected to multiple variants at one time.

What's the metrics look like when someone is hit with 2+ variants at once?

HIV is similar, where someone can be positive for 1 or more different strains. And their viral loads are cumulative.

At this point the Delta variant has effectively out completed everything. The chance of exposure to any other variant is low.
