1,610 UK Covid deaths reported today

As awful as these numbers look on their face, these statistics are not borne out in excess death data.. compare April to now.
 
Looks like this new variant is more lethal. 30-40% according to Vallance. Hospitals believe no difference in outcome to one study suggesting 91% increase is the range of views.
How can it be more transmissible AND more lethal after a mutation? Thought it was one or the other?
