There are about 1.5 million over 85s. So 15 x 130 = 1950 in hospital.

What are you on about, it’s already been divided by age group. See attachment- middle chart (in earlier post)I used the over 85 metric which is (looking at the chart) around 130, per 100,000.

It doesn’t state per 100,000 of what. According to JFman’s interpretation the ONS stats state that is the hospitalisation rate per 100,000 per “Population”

I believe it is pro-rata per those actually hospitalised.
