Not going to post a news article with this it's just her words. She has been exasperated for months when all the supposed ".COVID" cases fill her ward and they are not even COVID. It's cancer, allergy to a bee sting, or drug related. The COVID shit Democrats push is bullshit!
Your niece's observations are absolutely correct and here's the reason why. It's all about reimbursement. Hospitals are guaranteed to get paid for an admission if the admitting diagnosis is Covid-19 or presumptive Covid-19. Any respiratory symptoms will qualify for an admitting diagnosis of presumptive Covid-19. The plus side for the democrats are inflated hospital admission stats and deaths. The admitting diagnosis is not changed if the patient is later determined to be negative for the virus. That information will appear on the discharge documents but nobody is looking at hospital discharges, they are looking at hospital admissions.
