What are the current stats re hospital admissions?

[cmonarrycmon]

Can anyone do a handy link to hospital admissions stats? And also are there stats that breakdown what percentage of those admitted have or haven't had the vaccine / if they've had just one or both vaccine?
The current infection numbers seem really concerning, but if we aren't seeing a corresponding rise in serious illness and admissions, then we don't need to be as worried, surely?

Yes, they would. It includes those admitted for other things but have had a positive test.

England data include people admitted to hospital who tested positive for COVID-19 in the 14 days prior to admission, and those who tested positive in hospital after admission. Inpatients diagnosed with COVID-19 after admission are reported as being admitted on the day prior to their diagnosis. Admissions to all NHS acute hospitals and mental health and learning disability trusts, as well as independent service providers commissioned by the NHS are included

I agree with bordois. For the purposes of covid you couldn’t be left on an orthopaedic ward if you tested positive and would be moved either into isolation or a covid ward and would count in the numbers for hospital because you’re using their covid resources.

Apologies my mistake. I missed the asymptomatic part.

Shouldn't read and respond whilst trying to make a lasagne. I hate cooking and was trying to distract myself while waiting for the mince to cook!

Apologies again.

Our hospital has zero covid inpatients, we had over 200 in the second wave. Last week it was announced the Indian strain is dominant in our area...no showing in hospital admissions yet.

"NHS Providers chief executive, Chris Hopson, said the number of people in hospital with the Covid-19 variant first detected in India - known as the Delta variant - was not increasing “very significantly”.

Many of those in hospital in Bolton – which has the highest number of cases of the Indian variant in England – were younger than in previous waves of the pandemic, he told BBC Breakfast. Those in hospital with Covid in Bolton have been 'a lot younger' than in previous waves

“The people who came in this time round were actually a lot younger and were a lot less at risk of very serious complication, less at risk of death, and what that means is that they were less demand on critical care,” he said.

“What we think we can start to say now, based on that experience, is that it does look as though the vaccines have broken the chain between catching Covid-19 and potentially being very, very seriously ill and potentially dying.

“There were very, very few people who have had those double jabs and had been able to have that build-up of protection after those jabs.”

This was latest I heard
