The media is extremely focused on the number of infected and how infectious a new variant is.

Somehow the low number of new hospitalizations is not newsworthy.

Here in Denmark the hospitalizations have been steady at around 45% of the numbers we had when there was no vaccine.

It's also 45% of the numbers we had in 2017/2018 with the flu back then. But that fact is not being used much to put things into perspective.
