Mr Bell. Note that some of these numbers will be people already in hospital for unrelated illnesses, and who catch covid (or return a positive test) while in hospital. Because they're already in hospital then they're automatically added to the "hospitalized" figure. I suggest you seek more detailed clarification on these figures.
