The subject line was a question, not a statement, though

in the article a similar question was asked:
Dr. Scott Gottlieb, a former Food and Drug Administration commissioner who sits on Pfizer’s board, said the percentage was higher than he would have expected.
“Unclear why we’d see so much incidental infection. I’m hearing similar stats in [New Jersey] and [Connecticut] hospitals. Creates some concern [that COVID-19] could be spreading by contact with healthcare system itself,” he wrote on social media.

It seems pretty likely that there is some infection within the hospital setting. There often is. In this case some 50% of the NYC patients admitted for something else tested positive for covid. How many got it there? 10%, 20%, 40%, 50%?
