Interesting Covid chart re risk of death.

Link to tweet

The other day Dr. Jha indicated even the unvaccinated who had a prior Covid infection aren't dying anymore. Only the unvaccinated who never had Covid, the elderly who didn't get boosters and the relatively few who are truly immuno-compromised are at risk of dying.

I looked at the covid death statistics for the ongoing ba.2 wave in Boston and nyc today. Ba.2 has been around here since late March. The increase in Covid related deaths has been negligible.
