They didn't do better. They under-reported cases and deaths.

No way those hospitals chose to loose out of federal monies. At my wife's hospital, the positive test count included every test done on a patient, so one patient with covid represented multiple positive tests.

An interesting problem that would skew statistics, I agree.

In many countries and states, COVID patients haven't been to hospitals or have had tests, for various financial, personal, and logistic reasons.
