There isn’t much good news, or at least not great news. It seems likely that it’s not _worse_ than delta, and there’s some early evidence that it might be slightly better (eg the 30% lower hospitalisation thing). And it seems like existing vaccines and prior infections are probably at least somewhat protective against severe disease. That’s all good in that it’s not as bad as it could have been; the very worst case scenarios seem to have been all but ruled out. But it’s certainly not good enough for anyone to be feeling particularly optimistic now.
