There are two hospital systems in my parents' area: LeeHealth and NCH. LeeHealth (the larger of two I think) has put out numbers during the pandemic

Today's update:

Over the weekend, Lee Health hospitals surpassed their all-time high (372 patients - July 20, 2020) of currently admitted COVID-19 patients.
As of today, Lee Health has:
- 419 COVID-19 patients isolated in our hospitals (inpatient).
- According to their medical charts, 16% of our currently admitted COVID-19 patients are fully vaccinated.
- Since Friday, we’ve had 177 new COVID-19 hospital admissions and 113 COVID-19 discharges.
- Currently, 66% of our ventilators and 9% of our ICU rooms are available for use. We have 36 COVID-19 patients on ventilators and 70 in the intensive care unit.
- Current census is at 91% of staffed operational bed capacity.

Responses:

Yikes. I do think the breakthrough numbers are higher than we were lead to believe. -- nm - Epiphany Aug 9, 08:59 11
- There was a study on Delta released recently that said 50-60% effectiveness for vaccine (forget which one) -- nm - ty97 Aug 9, 09:02 9
  - and if vacccines just reduce symptoms, there could be a lot of people who are out and about, contagious, with "I just have a headache" as symptom. -- nm - amanda jeans Aug 9, 09:13 3
    - yeah, the fact that (it appears) vaccinated people can spread Delta has me mask-happy indoors again -- nm - ty97 Aug 9, 09:22 2
      - *infected* vaccinated people - oblique Aug 9, 09:23 1
        
        oh of course, the vaccinated people would need to themselves be infected. - ty97 Aug 9, 09:34
  - UK study -- nm - Epiphany Aug 9, 09:04
  - Couple this with the roughly 6% per 2 months effectiveness drop of the vaccine also. The longer this drags, the more we will see vaccination be less - oblique Aug 9, 09:03 3
    - I had no heard about this. Why did no one tell about this? - sycor Aug 9, 09:12 1
      - We are over a year now from the first trial recipients. Even if we accept that this is an annual vaccine, we are already at the point - oblique Aug 9, 09:21
    - some countries (Israel, etc) are already giving third shot/boosters to seniors who got their first shots 6 months or more ago. -- nm* - Andie Aug 9, 09:06
- Something to keep in mind, as a higher % of people become vaccinated, the % of people in hospitals who have been vaccinated will also rise - oblique Aug 9, 09:02
it would be interesting to know the ages of those hospitalized and fully vaccinated. -- nm - amanda jeans Aug 9, 08:49 3
- My parents region skews older than average, for sure. -- nm - ty97 Aug 9, 09:01
- Given the location I’m going to guess they’re older and have underlying conditions. -- nm - spamlet Aug 9, 09:00 1
  - yes exactly. under 4% still. -- nm - amanda jeans Aug 9, 09:03
