I actually linked to data that does show that there are increases in hospitalizations due to people walking in saying "I am sick with C19"
Nowhere in that article does it even mention hospitals inflating covid cases which was your comment I replied to."About a quarter of all patients admitted to the city’s main public hospital over the past two weeks tested positive for the coronavirus, including those who came in from car crashes, heart attacks and other problems."
Florida’s Covid Cases Up Fivefold in 2 Weeks: ‘The Numbers Are Scary’ (Published 2020)
A surge in coronavirus cases has prompted officials to prohibit alcohol sales in bars and close Miami beaches for the coming holiday. But will it be enough?www.nytimes.com
I don't think it's nefarious at all to think that a dr, should be testing for C19. Not sure why you inferred that from my comments. Of course, all patients in a hospital should be tested for C19, no matter why they are there. It's a contagious disease.
I'm just trying to make the point that an increase in hospitalizations isn't necessarily b/c someone walked in saying "I'm sick with C19". Now that the hospitals are open for elective surgeries, people going to the ER, etc, it stands to reason that patients will be admitted for other reasons and then discovered that they have C19. They will then be classified as a hospitalization w/C19.
