The vaccines seem to work very well.

I'm surprised to see how well we (Germany) are currently doing against the delta variant.
The beginning of July marked the point where cases stopped declining (thanks to delta). A relatively low 550 cases per day (lowest since July 2020!).
One month later, delta now makes up 91.4% of all new infections yet cases have risen to only 2100 cases a day. That looks more like linear growth than exponential growth to me. Wouldn't call it a wave just yet (compared to what the UK got). Also deaths have continued to decline and now remain flat at around 20 deaths a day. Hope it will stay like this for a while.
