Given hospitals routinely test for Covid on admission, isn't there a third option? Patients admitted to hospital with non-Covid19 medical issues who then happen to test positive and subsequently get put in the statistics in a total which the media then report as "Covid19 patients in hospital"
See:
"23% of Covid infections in hospital [in the UK] - or nearly one in four - were patients admitted for other reasons"[0]
"More than half of Covid patients in hospital [in the UK] 'tested positive after admission'"[1]
