The hospitalization rates generally lag about 2 weeks and they are not going up very much.
Province of BC has a lot of very detailed data on who gets it for what reason (they contact trace everything) and it's definitely younger people getting it right now.
Google 'Dr. Bonnie Henry'.
I think the media is purposefully underreporting the hospitalizations for the national interest and it's probably a good thing. The 'Freedom / Liberty' crowd hates to hear this kind of stuff, but the reality is, people are not very smart, even educated people can be easily misinformed and make bad decisions, which is why in a crisis we need constant behavioural reinforcement.
It's been 2 generations since the Western world has had a crisis in which everyone has had to participate and 'play their role' so it's almost out of living memory, but I suggest this is normal.
Smart people can read more and use the Internet for more detailed information.
