Majority of ‘Covid’ Hospital Patients in England are In For a Different Reason – Rising to Almost Two Thirds in London

by Will Jones
28 January 2022 8:00 AM

The majority of Covid patients in hospitals in England are not primarily being treated for the virus for the first time, rising to almost two thirds in London, official statistics show. MailOnline has more.

As few as a third of inpatients are mainly sick with the virus in parts of the country, with the rest mainly receiving care for a range of other conditions, such as a broken leg or heart disease.

Experts have called for the breakdown of so-called ‘incidental’ cases to be published alongside daily Covid figures to reveal the true extent of NHS pressure.

There were 13,023 Covid patients in hospital on January 25th, according to the latest NHS England figures, of which only 6,256 were primarily there for the virus (48%). This share has plummeted since the emergence of the super-mild Omicron variant in late November, when three-quarters of inpatients were mainly ill with the disease. 

Professor Paul Hunter, an infectious diseases expert at the University of East Anglia, told MailOnline the figures highlighted that the worst of the pandemic was “certainly” over.

He said it was “absolutely” the time to start differentiating between primary and incidental Covid patients in the daily numbers.

“I think that data should be on the dashboard, giving more information is always better than giving less. It all fits in with the observation that Omicron is more infectious but less severe.” …

Just three of England’s seven NHS regions have more primary Covid patients than incidentals – the  North West (57%), South East (55%) and the North East and Yorkshire (54%).  

Little over a third of inpatients are primary Covid in London (36%) and the East of England (38%), while in the Midlands and the South West the proportion is 46% and 49%, respectively. 

Worth reading in full.

That data comes from the primary diagnosis supplement published by the NHS yesterday for patients in England being treated for covid (by the official definition not mine).

So yes those being treated ‘for covid’ are less than half of all +ve hospital patients as at 25th January and proportion still falling.

Both +ve hospital numbers and treated ‘for covid’ numbers clearly falling

Met seeks limits to Sue Gray No 10 parties report – BBC News

My post of two days ago

‘Mrs Dick is repaying the trust placed in her by ‘investigating’ the Pig Dictator
The Pig Dictator welcomes ‘the clarity’ that the police investigation will bring
If the Gray report is published the plebs will be told that no action can be taken as they must await the result of the police investigation
The Gray report may not be published at all until the police investigation is concluded
How many years will the dragged out police investigation take?’

The regime decided some time ago that a wounded Dick was more advantage to them than an unknown prick

Remember where you heard it first

No that’s what I call a slippery pig

How many went to the parties? Fifty plus?

So that is 50+ investigations, and 50+ reports to the Crown Prosecution Service, and 50+ waits for the CPS to make a decision

Then if anyone is charged that’s 50+ court cases to be finalised (in a the middle of a court logjam) before the report can be published

You will not see the Gray report before the next election

This would be Cressida Dick who clapped for the nurses on Westminster Bridge during the ‘pandemic’ without a face mask, whilst her henchmen went round fining people for… er… not wearing face masks!

And who was apparently in charge when an entirely innocent man was shot dead in cold blood….
Never mind though, it was found to be a clear breach of H and S laws.

It gives me no end of smug satisfaction that Dick’s surname is an absolutely perfect descriptor. I rest my case.

This is what happens to NWO regional managers when they refuse to implement forced injections of experimental toxins and then go on to relax most of the ‘New Normal’ population ‘persuasion’ levers.

In Africa they are simply murdered and replaced with WEF puppets.

In the West they are deposed usually by blackmail from compromising phone or email taps or Epstein-like photo set ups.

Johnsons undoing – partygate.

Yep. A real war is going on. All while the sheeple pat themselves on the back about their superb analysis on Russia/Ukraine that they thought was their own, but actually got inserted into their brains verbatim by the MSM.

I accidentally flicked over to question time last night, just for long enough for some sheep to be telling us how Ukraine produces most of our gas, FFS. “I know it to be true, I just read it today”. This species is doomed.

Sebastian Kurz, chancellor of Austria from 2017 stepped down last summer with barely a mention in the British media. There were suggestions of corruption but little detail.
His replacement [who’s name evades me] was in power for only two weeks before resigning. In those two weeks he introduced medical apartheid [lockdowns solely for the unvaccinated- short lived] and vaccine mandates.
Perhaps Kurz was removed because he was unwilling to introduce these measures.
All very suspicious.

I’m feeling positive for the first time in a long time due to the Canadian Truckers, and the massive support they are garnering everywhere the convoy goes.
People offering support on bridges, flyovers and beside busy roads, at all hours of day and night in up to -30 degree temperatures while trudeau hides like the snivelling coward he is.

Truck Fudeau – is that allowed?

Peace

That may well be, but it could have been worded better. Right now it reads like it was written by a 10-year old. I’m surprised it doesn’t say ‘Don’t use the F-word or the C-word or I shall tell mummy’.

Same story from Germany a couple days ago – up to 75% of covid-positive hospital admissions are for another medical reason here.

A friend’s father went to a hospital exhibiting symptoms of a very bad reaction to a new diabetes drug he had been prescribed without follow up from his GP. They ‘tested’ him and declared he had “Covid” – he was held overnight for “tests” and his son had to fetch him in the morning to get him safely home before they started giving him medication and put him on a “pathway” .

On his escape he was told he would be ‘followed up” by being put on a “Virtual Covid Ward”(?) – indeed they bothered him by phone at home as he recovered from the reaction to the new diabetes drug simply by stopping taking it – all the symptoms of this reaction he had previously displayed at the hospital.

It appears that no-one was interested in his drug reaction – they wanted him as a Covid patient! . He has since completely recovered .

Having just skimmed the online Telegraph today still no mention of the huge Canadian convoy against vaccine mandates heading toward Ottawa and Trudeau. Can we have an article on this in Sceptics so I can send to friends who don’t believe it’s happening?

This also adds knowledge of the numbers of deaths claimed to be due primarily to covid and as indicated many time by others with other stronger data, but ignored by the MSM that those numbers are very likely to be overstated by at least a third.

Of course they are. How many people get admitted to hospital with a cold?
