I don't think that is an accurate representation of the findings. Half of all patients at a VA hospital where they have a policy of testing everyone admitted for COVID regardless of why they are there. "Among the limitations of the study is that patients in the VA system are not representative of the U.S. population as a whole, as they include few women and no children. (Still, the new findings echo those from the two pediatric-admissions studies.) Also, like many medical centers, the VA has a policy to test every inpatient for COVID, but this is not a universal practice." So basically the population studied skews towards groups who tend to have better COVID outcomes and is subject to universal testing. It is interesting but I don't think it should really change the picture much.
