Yep. And while hospitals are in the business of helping people- there is a business side to it too.

Person who is a nursing home patient who has a history of multiple strokes and in in their 90's also tests positive for Coronavirus passes away. PROVE that this person didn't die of Coronavirus. The agencies can't. And really the hospital can't either so they've washed their hands ethically. Then they get their money.
