My thing is I don't necessarily care how the hospitals fudge the numbers. I don't. It's how the politicians react knowing the numbers are being played but act as if they aren't.
For example: I have a motorcycle wreck and break some ribs and a leg. I get admitted to the hospital. I get tested by default for Covid. I test positive. I am now "hospitalized" with Covid but not because of Covid.
Unfortunately that doesn't play out when the numbers get reported and if it does the media by an large ignores is because they want the shock factor.
