They might be, but the fact that the case rate is now falling means that whatever increase is seen in deaths will be very short-lived. That is something to be thankful for, since Delta has been killing large numbers of people worldwide over a very long period of time.

But we don't know why the case rate is falling so fast. It could be that people tend to isolate when everyone around them is suddenly having symptoms.
