They don't really explain much about that 13%. So it's a bit misleading. How many of the 13% tested positive on day 3 for example. Testing positive on day 3 would still lead one to believe they had contracted covid prior to admission and covid illness could be contributing factor to their admission or even the primary reason. It seems more that the article wants to give the impression that the 13% entirely is comprised of post-admission covid positive being retroactively recategorized as covid admission. That may be true for some portion of the 13% but we have no way to know from this reporting. It's ironic that an article criticizing categorization/attribution being overly broad to do exactly that with the minority percentage that it hangs the entire thrust of its point upon.
