A reminder:
Statistics showing more young people hospitalised with Covid are not what they seem
"So in terms of actual numbers, young people are currently being admitted to hospital at about the same level – or lower – than during the winter high point."
"There are now 5,896 people in hospital with the virus – just 15 per cent of the 39,254 at the peak of the January wave."
"However, it is unlikely that they are all seriously ill. The latest figures from the Intensive Care National Audit Officers show that fewer than 1,000 people are in intensive care with Covid, and there are good data from the Covid Clinical Information Network showing that patients in this wave are needing less time in hospital.
In the January peak, fewer than half of patients had been discharged after 10 days. Now, 50 per cent of patients have been sent home by day four, with only one in five still needing hospital care by day 10.
This can also be seen in the death figures. Nate Silver, the eminent US statistician, estimates that Britain's case fatality rate is now around 0.2 to 0.3 per cent, compared to two per cent during
the alpha or Kent variant wave."
"
it is worth bearing in mind that the chance of young people being admitted to hospital after catching Covid is very small. Data from PHE show that, for the under-50s, just 0.7 per cent of infections will result in an overnight hospital stay.
In contrast, for the over 50s it is 2.9 per cent"
I guess thats misinformation from Yahoo news.
