Not controlling for age (which would make this number worse) and subtracting the estimated number of children <12 in hospital, there are 591 excess hospitalizations due to under vaccination.
That’s almost enough to completely fill the U of A Hospital (which has 650 total beds).

That includes 191 excess ICU beds due to under vaccination. A good size ICU is about 20 beds or so.
So there’s about 9-10 full ICUs in excess of what one might expect if everyone 12+ was vaccinated. (Not accounting for age or decrease in spread due to vaccination.)

Who wants some GRAPHS?
This is your chance of being in hospital with COVID 'right now' in Alberta. Current admission ages estimated based on admission data over the last 120 days.
Some breakthrough in the older age groups, but it's mostly unvaxxed people.

That was a rate stat. But if you walk through a COVID ward in Alberta over the last 4 months? There have been more 30-39 year olds than 70-79 year olds.
It's all unvaxxed with a few breakthrough elderly. Which is why many elderly are getting 3rd doses.

What about the ICU?
Glad you asked hypothetical person!
Here's your chance of being in ICU today in Alberta with COVID. The little sliver of blue is the vaccinated. It's unvaxxed all the way down.

Over the last 120 days, the ICUs have been packed with unvaxxed folk. Look how small the 80+ group is. That's because they is fewer of them and they're mostly vaxxed!
There's been more unvaxxed 12-29 year olds in ICU double vaxxed people from ALL AGES combined!

The take home: hospitals are packed and it's mostly unvaxxed people with COVID. Especially ICUs. Your risk increases with age, as we all know. But given 'how many' younger people are unvaxxed, they're filling the wards and ICUs at large numbers.
Get vaxxed.
For yourself.
For others.
This shit works. The data is straight from here: alberta.ca/stats/covid-19…
