I don't know if the monoclonal antibody treatment (like Trump got) is in wide use yet, but it's very effective if used early on or even prophylactically. It's being heavily promoted now.

"Some data suggest the Delta variant might cause more severe illness than previous strains in unvaccinated persons. In two different studies from Canada and Scotland, patients infected with the Delta variant were more likely to be hospitalized than patients infected with Alpha or the original virus strains."
