Why might admissions to hospital be dropping? Because the hospitals are full?

From your video, 14:00

"This is a little deceptive, because at one time hospitals had discrete ICU wards or ICU beds. Effectively now in a hospital all the beds are ICU beds".



But ICU admissions are also dropping and going negative. That is, fewer people are admitted than discharged. And according to frontline medics, everyone who needs an ICU bed gets an ICU bed.


That's not what your own source says! 13:25 "Still net positive".

When you misrepresent your own sources it's clear that you're not making a good faith effort to understand what's happening.
