According to the stats...not very much
Well, plus 100 in a week when we were on a steady decline, and not a cause for panic or anything, but not a happy trend of late. That's why I'm looking for some context as to what groups the admissions are coming from.

Were you expecting opening up the economy to decrease or keep same chances of spread?

People who are going in for procedures that were postponed are being tested. If they show up positive and are in the hospital for 24 hours, they count as a hospital admittance in most cases, even if the person is not there for covid and has no major symptoms.
I know this for a fact.

This is interesting. Can I ask how you know this?

Help me understand this scenario. Are you saying person comes in for let's say joint replacement, tests positive on a pre-op test, case is postponed (which would be appropriate), and patient is admitted despite being asymptomatic or having some reason for being admitted? I don't see how that could get past the clerical people in admissions and the utilization review folks...
For purely elective cases (like the ones that were put off) we are doing the PCR via reference lab test (Mayo) within a 5 day window of the procedure. Because of scarcity of media, in-house rapid test is for inpatient or emergency cases only (also includes actively laboring women), so the scenario would be very unlikely to arise, at least where I am practicing.
