No, if a 20 year old gets admitted with appendicitis, but has Covid it's not due to Covid, but the person still presents a nosocomial transmission risk. IF the point prevalence in UK is really around 1%, we really need to test ALL admissions since nosocomial outbreaks are bad.
Sure, but testing improved substantially everywhere which may have impacted when people were admitted to hospitals. Hospitalization protocols have also changed - basically, the denominators are not the same

German hospitals were never under strain (unlike in the UK). Whilst I cannot be certain, incorporating both anecdotal and statistical data (not age stratified) from UK suggests we are better at managing Covid. And that's not surprising: it's true for most diseases.

Sure, but what I'm saying is not that the hospitals are better or worse, but that it is very likely that the hospitalized population has changed as the understanding of the virus has evolved
