Never pass up the opportunity to swing the lead, as they say.

63 percent of patients in hospitals in England being treated 'primarily' for Covid.

I doubt that to be accurate. in UK terms there are 141,000 available beds.
UK COVID data states 17,988 people are in hospital with COVID, that is 63% of 28,552.
I know the 63% was an England figure but if that was transposed to the UK, (which wouldn't be that far off) that would mean there are only 28,552 people in hospital total.
We wouldn't be screaming NHS crisis if that was the case as the whole system would only be at 20% capacity.
