Fair enough but it has meant I’ve had to dive into the figures. It levels out the ages in this way - the older population are more likely to both be impacted by the virus and also be vaccinated, so for those over 50 you would expect to see those numbers in hospital would be made up of mainly vaccinated folk. Over 50s in hospital - 4,618 of which 1,077 were unvaccinated (23.3%). For the under 50s there were 2,021 of which 1,278 unvaccinated and 123 with only 1 jab (63.23% unvaccinated, 69.3% one jab max).
When you go deeper into the numbers it also shows that for the 50-59 age group there’s 1,115 in hospital with 408 not vaccinated (36%).
Bottom line is that 2k of the 6k in hospital were unvaccinated and adding to the strain in the hospitals and other services. It should be recognised the extra pressure it is putting on everything when it could be easily solved.
