This to my mind is a misrepresentation of the data. The numbers are unadjusted firstly, that aside a positive test prevents an NHS staff member from working as they have to isolate. It is not the same as whether they are fit to work.
If you were to take fit to work being in or out of hospital your hypothesis falls apart. Which is why I suspect you only showed your crop to try to substantiate your argument about vaccination.
Thing is, field hospitals being opened, additional military staff being sent to work in hospitals, they are already driving ambalences, 17 trusts declaring major incidents and cancelling large amounts of surgery, the peak hasn't come yet nationally, it's hardly a slam dunk is it for not taking any action?
