Very roughly. They're not really at comparable stages in their spread, and the predictive power of clinical studies are not great. What we know for sure, is the Delta virus is a more transmissible mutant, which is basically what one would expect given the literature about variants. But dominant variants also trend towards having medium virulence too as that is the optimized evolutionary strategy. So it's unlikely that any of these dominant variants will develop into super killer strains.
