I don't quite understand -- you went to the hospital for what original reason then, if it wasn't Covid?

  One of the many reasons we had hospitals before covid? I'm not the person you asked but I don't see why it matters what their specific health concern was. There are many reasons to go to a hospital both emergency and not.

    I'm just trying to understand, they went to the hospital for a totally unrelated reason to Covid or even suspicion of Covid, and then contracted Covid at the hospital.

      Yeah catching a different infection while you're at the hospital for something unrelated was pretty common even before covid. It even has a fancy medical name and everything. I don't hear much about it these days but a few years ago MRSA was talked about commonly in this context. I think that was the big fear there as well. You go for a minor surgery or whatever and come out with a bone infection you'll never completely shake.
