Well, I'd say Imperial College in the UK, in particular, is finding no evidence. But what is true is that there is no clear consensus on this yet, it's taking longer than I expected. I think the initial fears of it causing a more severe form of COVID-19 have not come to pass, but whether it's similar severity to Delta or somewhat less is still to be determined.
