They were yet to be diagnosed when they went into hospital.

That’s my point. They are hospitalized (had a condition that required admission), but not because of Covid.

Of course they weren't. It takes a while for a PCR test result. When someone comes in with "Respiratory problems" on admittance that's not a surprise that they are not diagnosed with COVID immediately is it?

The data is “admitted due to Covid or complication of Covid”, so presumably they filtered out the “breathing difficulty” cases”?

The number I’m quoting is “% Admitted where COVID was not included as one of the reasons for admission”.

I’m not paraphrasing here, but simiplying repeating what the NY state Governor is saying? Still disinformation?
