I tend to agree, although the number in hospital with Covid is important as it shows the effect on the NHS.

Would be best to report:
Number having to go in hospital because of Covid
Number in hospital for other reasons who have Covid

I hear people say that numbers are highly inflated but I read that it's 17% who have Covid but that isn't the primary reason they are in hospital.
