Less dangerous on an average individual level, more dangerous since its so contagious and can infect every last unvaccinated person who doesn't have antibodies (and a few who do).



I haven’t seen any credible evidence yet that delta is less dangerous at the individual level than alpha or than the original virus. We know that if a person is vaccinated, then exposure to the original variant is less dangerous than exposure to delta (based on limited controlled studies).


It’s less dangerous on an individual level because most individuals are vaccinated and most of those who aren’t are in low risk groups
