It might be instructive to know how many cases are admitted to hospital.  They don't seem to provide this information.  Could be the figures are quite low reflecting high incidence of vaccination.

It might be instructive to know how many cases are admitted to hospital.  They don't seem to provide this information.  Could be the figures are quite low reflecting high incidence of vaccination.

I found this piece from the BMJ which gives figures based on PHE data, but gives us a general guide.

"Almost all new cases of covid-19 are the delta variant but new data suggests that while case numbers are increasing, the rate of growth is slower than a week ago.

Public Health England’s weekly covid-19 variant cases data1 show that numbers of the delta variant in the UK have risen by 33 630 since last week to a total of 75 953, a 79% increase. The most recent data show 99% of sequenced and genotyped cases across the country are the delta variant.

The data also show that 58 830 positive test results were recorded between 11 and 17 June which represents an increase of 33.7% on the previous seven days.

Public Health England said that the data showed there was a higher risk of hospital admission for patients with the delta variant compared with the alpha variant, but its analysis2 revealed that two doses of vaccine gave a high degree of protection against hospital admission, estimated to be more than 90%.

According to the agency’s latest variant technical briefing,3 as of 14 June a total of 806 people had been admitted to hospital with the delta variant of the virus—an increase of 423 since last week. Among these cases, 527 people were unvaccinated and only 84 of the 806 had received both doses."
