Doesn't matter. It's like someone saying the flu deaths have gone up last month when the flu is seasonal.
The death rate per infection is 0.006. Compare that with what the death rate was for regular Covid.
I won't beat on this. There's two perspectives: Death rate per number infected, & and totally number dead. Your perspective will determine your nomenclature, but regardless this variant is more deadly in terms of the number of deaths which is what ultimately counts.
But like I said, I'm not going to beat on it, any longer.
